Running Back Home || Eleanor Lamb and Augustus Sinclair
All the memories and thoughts of everything that happened and that she had learned were buzzing in her head. A racing mind was a hard thing to understand, especially when you had to compensate for both yourself and the old you. Ah... The old Eleanor was oh so very different from herself. A confident and unafraid fox compared to an adapting curious and shy girl. A fox to a mouse. She shook her head.
Of course, she didn't land in the /right/ spot. Ending up at the stairs she almost died on, she sighed. At least it was the right area. Knowing her luck, had she got her landing right, she would've probably just infuriated the southern businessman. Though, right about now, he was probably infuriated anyway.
Up the stairs she went. Worried and fixing her clothes to make sure she still looked civilized and not indecent. Indecent because she was just with James. James... It still burned. But Mr. Sinclair was a cold person. He would be more like a wind burn, she supposed. She sniffed the air. She could still smell James on her. A furious blush struck her and a shudder, she gasped softly.
He clearly wasn't going to leave her thoughts. So much so, she passed Sinclair's door. Snapping out of her lovey daydreams, she stepped and turned around. Fishing for the key in her pocket, she remembered she had put the scalpel in there too. She sighed. Not used to having a weapon in her head, she felt it best to remain a secret.
Ah, but would all her adventures go unnoticed by Mr. Sinclair? She dropped the key, remembering how in-tune and clever he was. His powers of observation wouldn't fail him. A deep breath, she unlocked the door. It was dark. The shades were shut. She figured he had left or wasn't even home. A loud sigh escaped her, turning around and re-locking the door. She prayed loudly he wouldn't notice, feeling like she'd made it home safe and sound.
And then, turning around again... She saw it. A shadowed figure. She was not alone. And from the feeling of that aura, it was undoubtedly Mr. Sinclair. Backing into the door, insanely nervous, she squeaked out something. A name.
