Unlocking the door, she walks in pulling her suitcase behind her.
She leaves the suitcase sitting by the door and walks to the kitchen.
Opening up the refrigerator, she sees there's food that her property manager bought for her.
Walking out of the kitchen, she walks to the living room and is instantly taken over by emotions by the family pictures of her Mom and Stepfather hanging on the wall.
She sits down on the couch and starts crying.
Even though she knows she's surrounded by people that love her she feels like she's all alone.
All alone to fight the world and the demons in her head.
Standing up, Shaylynn walks out of the living room and heads toward the back door.
Once outside, she walks over to the Koi pond.
As soon as she's standing near it they all come to the surface wanting food.
"Look how big you've all gotten! Earl has been feeding you well!" she tells them as though they can understand.
Turning around, she sees the putting green she had put in after she and Jay were married even though he knows nothing about this property.  

She can feel herself tearing up

She can feel herself tearing up.
Shaking it off as she walks over to a small building. Unlocking it, she walks in and grabs a bow and a container full of arrows.
Walking out, she heads over to an area where a target is set up.
Sitting the container down, Shaylynn pulls out an arrow, gets it ready on the bow, aims, and then shoots it.
She shoots a few more and gets bored.
Looking back at the house, she wonders how she can stay in such a big place all by herself.
She heads back inside and up to the master bathroom.
Getting a bath ready her phone starts to ring and won't stop.
"Beth, you're so annoying!" Shaylynn says answering her phone.
"You wouldn't have me any other way! Where are you?" Beth asks.
"California," Shaylynn tells her with a smirk on her face.
"North or South smartass!" Beth says annoyed.
"I'm not telling you! You'll be on your jet over here!" Shaylynn says.
"Does Jay know where you are?" Beth asks.
"No, if there's an emergency he can phone me. I'm going, I've just run a bath," Shaylynn tells her hanging up.
