"Huh?" Bella asked, surprised to see that they had arrived already and he had parked the car in front of the house.
"Are you worried about living here alone with me?" Dan asked with a concerned frown when he noticed she wasn't looking at him.
"Not exactly," Bella said, flashing him an awkward smile as she reached for the door and opened it.
