"Don't let me interrupt," I said, keeping a smile on my face despite the nausea I felt at the sight that greeted me whenI opened the door to my house.  Seth was laying on the floor, half naked as usual, Annie straddled him, her shirt hanging open, his hands inside. 
"We won't," the look Annie gave me was one I knew. The calm, nonchalant facade did a good job of hiding her anger but her eyes blazed with fire.  She turned her attention back to Seth who was trying to sit up, while she tried with all of her might to push him back down, kissing his neck as she did.  His sheer mass made her lose the battle.
"Ah, you need some help with those?" he asked awkwardly, pointing at the boxes on the porch behind me. 
"No, Ced's a big boy. if he wants to move back in here then he can surely bring in his own things."  Annie grabbed his hand, pulling him down the hall, towards the stairs to our bedroom.  No, her room, I reminded myself.  It would be our room again but for now it was just hers.  Poor Seth looked like a puppy being taken for a walk by an over zealous owner. 
"You can have the lily room!" She shouted back down to me.  A few seconds later I heard her door slam shut and then the sound of the jacuzzi turning on. 
I took a deep breath to calm my nerves.  Running in and telling her how I felt would solve nothing, trying to harm Seth would only get me a room in St Mungos.  I was going to have to fight dirty.  As dirty as she ever had. For once she was going to lose. 
I brought my things upstairs, ignoring her instructions that I was to take the smallest and most feminine of all the rooms.  Instead I choose the second largest. The one we had planned to use as a nursery when we adopted a baby.  The room had a large bed already and all the furniture I would need for myself so I only added a bassinet and crib for Landon and Max to come stay with me when S, Oliver and Jared were in need of a break. 
As soon as I was unpacked I sent Snidget out on a mission.  It was time for phase two of my plan.  I chuckled to myself as I watched my owl disappear over the horizon, heading to London.
