Verana woke up to find herself not in her room. She sat up quietly looking around.
She frowned.
"Am I dreaming ?" She asked herself.
Then the door opened and Alec walked in.
"Mr. Irvine " she frowned.
"Your awake " he smiled.
She nodded , "Did something happen while I was asleep ,where are we ?"getting up from the bed ,her weak legs disagreed dropping her back.
He rushed to her giving her support.
"You need to eat ,your body is weak now " he let out.
"Mmm, my head feels dizzy too " she added.
With ease he carried her up and walked out of the room.
Her eyes explored the place , it was a huge place but it seemed different.
They got down the stairs and he placed her down in the living room.
The went into the kitchen getting her a glass of water.
"We are at one of my ranch...am sorry I didn't ask for your permission before I could bring you " he apologized.
"Oh ...I must have scared you guys after I locked myself away " she said holding onto the glass.
"Mmm, so I thought mayne this will help " he said.
She nodded .
He got up telling her to stay still so he could get her something to eat.
Vera slowly got up a few minutes later and moved to the window .
She smiled seeing the endless green filed Infront of the house , she could see a few horse running around too.
She heard noise from the kitchen and turned heading there.
Alec was busy making something. She remember the meal she never got to taste that night cause of the call she received.
He felt a presence and turned to see her in the doorway.
Instantly he shifted to her side picking her up by the waist and sat her up on the kitchen counter.
"The floor is cold don't move around barefooted " he said.
"Ohh..." she looked down at her feet .
He grabbed a knife peeled and apple and passed it to her.
"Have this while I finish cooking " he said.
She took it and sat in silence watching his back as he cooked.
The tempting smell soon filled the kitchen and her tummy grumbled.
He looked back at her and they both chuckled.
.....
Vera sat by the fireplace watching the sparks of wood turn into ash.
Alec was on the phone with his mother .
She breathed . Alot had happened that she felt so lost . She couldn't think of anything ,her mind was empty as her eyes got lost in the flames Infront of her.
Something warm fell onto her shoulders ,her head turned to see Alec beside her drapping a blanket sweater on her.
"Thank you " she smiled.
He sat next to her .
"Would you like a tour of the place tomorrow ?" He asked .
She nodded. ."I saw some horses , can I ride one? Never had the chance to get on one "
He chuckled, "Yes you can ...I can't teach you "
"Do you have a wine cellar ?" She asked.
"Huh?".
"Where you keep wine" She said
He nodded, "It's downstairs " he pointed at the door closed to the kitchen entrance.
"Can I see it ?" She glanced back at him.
