Tattooed Luna

Chapter 238

If I had any tears left to give, I probably would have. However, I was just going through the emotions at

this point. Walking up the steps, Colt opened the front door for me. Penny had already walked in and was

standing in the living room. There was a closet to my left. The wall extended and the T.V was mounted to

the wall. The livingroom opened up to my right. It was a good sized livingroom with two dark grey

couches facing eachother and two matching black recliners directly in front of the T.V. A glass coffee

table sat between the couches. An off grey rug extended between the two couches but came up short for

the recliners. The wood floor appeared to be original with the tiny slats.

Everything had wear spots like it was used but still in good shape. My first impression was homy. It was

be upset. Pictures were on the wall. I recognized our mother’s parents from other pictures dad showed

us. Since mom was the only child, I assumed the dated baby pictures were of her. The mantel had

pictures in a gold frame of who I assumed was mom growing up. One from when she was around nine

months and then when she was many five or six. The next was her high school prom and finally a picture

of her and dad with a swollen belly. They looked so in love.

“I kept everything as I found it. I wanted you to see it before we made any changes to it.” Penny said,

pulling my attention away from the pictures.

“If there is anything you want to take with you, just let me know.” Colt said as he came up beside me. He

took the picture I was just looking at and held it in his hands. “I’m not getting rid of anything but I’ll put

them in a safe place.”

“You’re right. This is just how I would have pictured it.” I whispered as I looked around. I kept noticing more things the longer I looked. The white ceiling fan that had a gold pinstripe design to it. The curtains

were a solid sheer white that covered the wooden blinds. Even the faded white paint on the walls that desperately needed touched up.

“Over here is the kitchen with a small bathroom in the hallway.” Penny said as she left the kitchen. The doorway was larger than a traditional/doorway but still just a doorway. The kitchen was an L-shaped layout with cabinets lining the left wall, just after another doorway that lead into the hall. A large island sat in the middle with three stools and a small table pushed against the right wall.

I could see and smell the wood refinisher that Penny used to clean the light stained oak cabinets. The golden handles were shiny. Even the floral wallpaper that covered the kitchen was faded but cleaned. The wooden floors extended into the kitchen and from what I could see, down the hall. More pictures of mom and dad or our grandparents hung on the wall. There was one with a large number of people in it that I

wasn’t sure who they all were.

“That is mom’s family.” Colt said coming up to me. “Dad told me who everyone was: Not sure I’ll
