Ellie's House: River City, North Carolina
It had been a pretty quiet car ride on Peyton's part. Which she hoped Dean and Angela would mostly chalk up to being freaked about going to see Ellie. She had Haley's demo with her, hoping it would be a good enough hook to get her bio-mom to agree to spend some time with her.
She thought about asking them to stay in the car, but figured it wouldn't do much good. So instead she went up to the house, letting them follow as they would and knocked on the door. "Ellie? It's Peyton."
No one answered, but the door was unlatched and opened as she knocked on it, so she slipped in quietly. "Ellie? Still no answer, but Peyton couldn't help but be drawn to the living room and the few shelves of records there.
