---AVALON POV---
"You always manage to get the best maids, that's for sure," I say, setting several of my bags down on the floor in the living room. I wince at he mention of 'maids'
"Not this time," he says behind me. He sets the other bags from the carriage down next to the tawny-brown leather couch. "It's just me."
"Really? But it's so clean in here. I guess you
haven't been here long then?"
"About ten months." He looks over at me. "Do
you like it? I hope so since it is your new home." A smile breaks in my face.
He breaks apart the buttons of his dress shirt and takes it off, laying it over the back of a brown leather chair. Secretly, I take note of his physique as he walks toward a long, brightly-lit hallway with an arched
entrance.
I follow him.
"Of course you know we won't be here forever." We enter a large bedroom. "But it's home for now, atleast."
