"You didn't think to tell me first? I have to hear it from my fucking VP that the nomads are talking about you patching in to another club?" Jackal growls as he lights a cigar

"Look pops, you know I can't live here again. Losing Lisa nearly fucking killed me and she's all over this place. The room upstairs we shared, I proposed to her right in that fucking bar. Killer runs a good club, you should check it out some time. You already have a VP, there's no place for me here anymore." I reply as I light a cigarette

"But you're my son, my only son, you know how disrespectful this shit is?" Cigar smoke swirls around him

"Everyone knows why I left, it's no reflection on you. You should be fucking happy for me that I found a good woman and a place to settle."

"Nice piece of ass you got there, I'll admit that. How about this, we're having a party tomorrow night, you show your face, flash that bitch of yours, I'll announce that I've given you my permission to patch in to NC and we'll be good." I grit my teeth as he talks about Evie but he's being fairer than I expected

"That's all I gotta do and you'll let me go back to North Carolina, no bullshit?" I question and he nods.

"One more thing, I got club business tonight, but have dinner with your mother, she's always going on about how much she misses you." There's my old man. He puts on a hard front for the club, but he's always been good to my mom, for as long as I can remember

"Sure thing pops, now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna get back to my woman." I reply as I put my cigarette out in his ashtray and head back to the bar. I can hear laughter as I walk out into the bar. I watch as Evie and my mom laugh margaritas in hand, I remember, more than once, picking up a really drunk Lisa from my moms house after a couple pitchers of margaritas, Lisa and my mom were really close and if my dad and I were busy with the club we would often come home to find them drunk and laughing together.

"There's the handsome devil now." My Mom slurs as I walk up to the bar

"What are you girls up to?" I ask looking between them

"Nothing, your mom is just giving me embarrassing stories to take home." Evie smiles innocently

"It's one in the afternoon and you two are drunk already. Mom, why don't the three of us go to dinner tonight?" I ask and her face lights up

"Yes definitely! Evie told me where you're staying, remember the little seafood bistro just down the street from there? Let's eat there." My Mom smiles and I nod

"Take one of the spare trucks to use while you're here honey, I'll see you tonight." My Mom says as she stands up and pulls me into a hug

"See you tonight Evie." My Mom hugs Evie before walking off to find my dad

"Let's get you back to the hotel to sober up before tonight." I smile as I wrap my arm around Evie

"Actually, I stopped drinking after two, but your mom was trying her best to push more on me. I love her." Evie laughs as the prospect hands me keys for a truck and we head outside

"Well we've got the afternoon to ourselves, wanna do some touristy shit?" I ask as we climb into the truck

"Actually umm, you can totally say no, but your mom told me your house hasn't been touched since you left, I thought maybe we could get some of your stuff to take home." She says nervously, I sigh as I lean back in my seat. I was hoping to avoid that on this trip.

"I know it's hard, but that house has sat there for ten years, do you really want to leave everything there for another ten?" She asks as she takes my hand.

"Remember, I'll always be by your side Reaper."

"How did I get so lucky?" I ask and she smiles.

"Fine lets go." I say as I pull out of the parking lot behind the bar. Driving through the familiar streets heading for the home I once shared with Lisa brings up too many painful memories, but Evie's hand in mine is easing that pain. It doesn't hurt like I thought it would coming back here, but I think I have Evie to thank for that.

"This place is beautiful." Evie says as we climb out of the truck. Lisa fell in love with this place because of the views of the bay. I installed floor to ceiling windows around back so from the living room and our bedroom it was all you could see. The place was seconds from collapsing so I bought it for a steal and did all the work myself, with help from a few guys at the club.

I walk up to the lock box at the front door and enter the code, Our wedding anniversary and it opens up so I can grab the keys.

As we walk through the house everything is just as I remember it, nothing has even been put out of place. My mom has been looking after the place for me, Lisa's parents never approved of her marrying a biker and after my club got her killed they wanted nothing to do with me, or this place.

"And you did this all yourself?" Evie asks as she stands in the kitchen. I remember Lisa making breakfast for me in that kitchen, or if she had an early class I would cook for her.

"You're alright Reaper I'm right here." Evie says as she wraps her arms around me. I lean down and kiss her softly

"Come on I'll give you the tour." I say as I take her hand and guide her around the house. The house is small with two bedrooms and two bathrooms but I had plans to build on the side of the house if Lisa and I ended up having the four kids she wanted.

We walk into the master bedroom and everything hits me at once. Lisa's clothes are still in the closet, her jewellery is still on the dresser, even her make up is on the vanity table.

I sit on the bed I haven't slept in for over ten years and look around the room. All the nights we spent in here together, getting ready for parties, climbing into bed after a long day and making love all night long in this very bed.

"If you can't handle it we can go." Evie says sitting beside me

"What am I doing?" I ask as I sit up straight

"No one has lived here in so long, all of her stuff is sitting there like she's going to come back any day now. I love you and I want to start a new home with you. I need to let this place go."
