A carefree laugh escaped her as Jake lifted her off the ground and called her Princess. She wrapped her arms around him and revelled in the familiar feeling of his sturdy arms around her. "Thank you," She said as he took the suitcase she'd carried to the doorway. The house, needless to say, was breath-taking. It wasn't the house she remembered and Jade was convinced some intense renovations had been made.<br/><br/>"The drive was great," Isabelle said, looking around. "You did a really great job renovating the house, Jake. It looks amazing."<br/><br/>George nodded in agreement with his wife's words. The two made eye contact for a brief moment, the kind that held a mini-conversation in a language two people developed after spending over a decade together. "Thanks, Jake, but I think we'll head back. We don't the dogs to stay by themselves longer than they have to. Where do you want me to put Jade's stuff?"<br/><br/>Isabelle was quick to pipe in, her smile thankful as she looked to her brother. "Thank you so much for this, Jake. You're saving our lives."<br/><br/>Jade looked at her uncle and smiled as well, unable to ignore the fact that he was aging really well. "Yeah, thanks, Uncle." She already knew that this was going to be a great year. If it wasn't because of school, then it was because she would be living with her uncle and get a break from her parents. As much as she loved them, she was more than excited about breaking away from them for a little while.
