Sookie's life had changed completely, not just a little bit like before. Before just seemed like a little bit compared to how it changed now. Sookie still needed time to process everything that had happened and everything that she had recently found out. She wasn't even sure how long she had been gone, but somehow she found herself back in Bon Temps.
She had only been back a short time and wasn't really paying much attention when she walked down the stairs. She was so lost in her thoughts that when she walked in the kitchen, she was beyond surprised to see someone standing there.
Sookie jumped when she saw the man standing there. At first she didn't realize that it was Alcide, but after a second or two the initial shock wore off and she recognized the man. "For fuck's sake, Alcide," she shook her head, "just what do you think you're doing?" A part of her was relived to see him, but another part was annoyed that he just broke into her house. "This better not have anything to do with Eric or Bill," she crossed her arms. That would be like Eric, getting Alcide to come check up on her.
