Word Count: 333 This post is sort of all over the place and feels rushed, but I'm using the excuse of getting into a new character. So there. Tongue

The young woman moved away from her husband's side without so much a second thought as she saw a large white house up ahead. It had a long walkway that led out to the drive. It had evidently been unused for years, but the snow coated the sandy gravel and yard, making it look beautiful even with the rundown appearance that it had. It was unkempt but the woman saw it as a project. The house, however, caught her eyes the most and she stepped through the broken gate of the white picket fence and sped up her walk to the front porch. The porch was large and open, the door in the middle formally protected by door that was torn from it's hinges and hanging lazily by the last remaining pieces. Her bright blue eyes sized it up as she stepped up into the white wooden house.

She glanced back to look for her mate. He was older than her and far more experienced in the world. Sonja was still a child with much more to see, easily influenced and eager to believe the wise-sounding and elegant words of a man that had seen much more than she. Her ears twitched upon her head, her fingers clutching the doorway and returning her gaze back to the house. It had an old smell but nothing she could not spruce up. There were flakes of snow in the doorway leading to the opening but it did not bother her. If Raskolnikov would be up to the challenge of helping fix up the house, she thought she might find a home here. There were other houses down the road, but Sonja was tired of looking and there was just something about this house.

"Rodya!" she called from inside the house, her Italian accent thick with her excitement. "Sguardo!" she shouted, returning to the door and searching for her slow husband. "Mi piace questa," she added and smiled wide, her hand waving for him to hurry.
