I couldn't help but look around in amazement at the interior of True North.

It's beautiful.

Although it is giant and obviously very luxurious, it's homey, it's welcoming and it feels like a real family lives here, or at least spent their winters here by the looks of it.

As I explored the bedroom that Alisa assigned me I couldn't help but feel slightly at home.

The room I'm staying in has a lot of photos in it, they're mainly of Nash, Jameson, Grayson and Xander, some them are of Tobias Hawthorne, it feels well kept and looked after.

It feels loved.

It feels like I've been looking at the photos for hours, taking in every little detail of each one.

The door opens suddenly, I turn quickly to see Grayson.

"Gray" my voice is quiet as he looks over to me.

He's wearing sunglasses.

"Hey Ash" His voice is quiet as he moves his bag to next to mine in the middle of the floor.

"How'd you know this was my room?" He asks, taking the sunglasses off.

He flinches slightly as he does so.

"Alisa told me that I was staying in here tonight." I quickly say.

"Are you hung over?" I ask him, stepping toward him.

"Jameson gets people to do dumb things" He quickly says.

He steps closer to me.

"But please, can we not talk about last night, or being hung over, or being drunk or Sheffield Grayson" His voice is barely above a whisper as he pleads.

"Not until you want to talk about it." I smile a small, comforting smile as I pull him into a hug.

"Thank you Ash" He whispers.

A few minutes later Grayson and I found our way out of his room before making out way through the house.

We found Alisa on a balcony, talking to Avery and Jameson.

"Ready to hit the slopes?" Alisa asked Avery.

"I.." Avery started.

She doesn't know how to ski.

Neither do I.

"I don't know how to ski." She quickly says.

Jameson goes to speak up but instead the voice comes from next to me.

"I'll teach you." Grayson says.

I turn to look at him before I look at Jameson and Avery.

They're both staring at him.

He's staring at her.

"It's settled then. Grayson and Avery can hit the slopes, Ash, you can probably head down there a bit later on." Alisa says, looking back at Grayson and I.

I nod a small nod before stepping out of the doorway.

I trust Grayson.

And I trust Avery.

I know that nothing bad is going to come out of this.

I trust them.

I let myself breathe for a few moments before I quickly start searching for any sort of clues.

I find myself on the stairs when I'm joined by Jameson.

Neither of us say anything for a few minutes, working in silence as we move.
