Talia's POV:
Lilian showed me the downstairs first. There were over a dozen rooms, including a large library stocked with a variety of books, a home theater with a wall-sized TV, and a sizable gym filled with high-end exercise equipment.
I was also pleased to discover that Nicholas remembered my painting hobby; one of the rooms was set up as an art studio, with blank canvasses lined up in front of a huge south-facing window. How long was he planning for us to stay here?
"Mr. Robert had all of this put in a couple of weeks before you came," Lilian told me, leading me from room to room. "So everything is brand-new."
I blinked, surprised to hear that. I had assumed that the art studio was new since Nicholas was not into painting, but I didn't realize he'd redone the entire house. "He didn't have a pool put in too, did he?" I joked as we walked down the hall.
