Only the sound of the pattering rain filled the mansion. I stopped in front of the familiar study. With a heavy sigh, I opened the door and stepped inside, seeing my grandfather sitting at the table.
As I approached, he stood up. It was so natural. The way he gripped one of the golf clubs on display was so natural. And the way he swung it at me, his own grandchild, was just as natural.
Thud—
I blocked the incoming golf club with one hand, as if I were used to it. It wasn't the first time, after all. My grandfather's eyes met mine, filled with bewilderment.
