There it is. Gravel driveway. red bricks. Those freaky garden gnomes I'd begged her to get rid of. It's the same house I'd ever known, and yet it looks so unfamiliar. So cold. My heart is beating out of my chest. My eyes are red and swollen, but I'm not crying. Yet. Gran normally meets us at the door. I stand at the door, looking at the police man fretfully. Slowly, he lifts his hand, and rings the doorbell...
