Rory walked to her house. The work there was almost over. The weather forecast predicted snow starting in a week. It was already bitingly cold outside.
"Ah!" She rubbed her arms as she entered the house. The heating was turned off and she turned it on.
She took a look around. Liam told her to choose the paint color, and she already had finished painting. Liam was talking about being here for Christmas and so she used baby-safe paints. Count Charles even got her crib from the storage, and she set the nursery for Ellie.
"We could stay here even today..." she whispered. Everything was ready.
But...
A sigh escaped her mouth. Her family is not here.
She walked back to the Campbell mansion. Ian was walking toward her. She wanted to change her path, but she knew it would be too obvious. She didn't want to act childish. So, she walked in the same path.
"Rori, can we talk?" he asked as she got near to him.
"Okay," Rory said.
