What on earth had she just agreed to?

Alicia stared down at the puzzle, watching as Meredith pressed another piece into place. “Marcus has asked me to move in here.”

Meredith’s head jerked up. “Really? That’s terrific!”

Alicia was glad that Meredith thought so. “He said that you’d help me pick a room.”

“When are you going to move in?” She sat back in her chair. “Tonight?”

“No. I’m going away for the weekend. I’ll do it when I come back.”

“Why don’t you come with me?” Meredith got to her feet. “I think the best room for you is the one next to mine. You’ll have your own bathroom, and it has a nice view too.”

Alicia followed Meredith from the sunroom to the stairs facing the front door. When they got to the top of them, Meredith gestured to the right. “Marcus and Derek have rooms down there. Mine is this way.”

When Meredith opened a door and motioned for Alicia to precede her, she wasn’t sure what she was expecting, but it wasn’t a room that was basically the size of her whole tiny apartment. She stepped into the bedroom, taking in the large windows on the opposite wall and the bed that looked double or triple the size of the one she currently slept in.

“Will this one be okay? Or do you want to check out another one?”

Check out another one? Alicia just shook her head. “This one is just fine.”

Meredith beamed. “Marcus let me decorate the bedrooms in the house. After mine, this is my next favorite.”

Alicia had never been one to pay too much attention to decorating. When she’d been younger, they had always rented apartments, and her mother hadn’t wanted to bother with decorating things like painting or putting up wallpaper. Aside from her mom’s boyfriends, they’d never had people come to their home, so it wasn’t as if they’d needed to impress anyone.

“This is just lovely, Meredith. You did a wonderful job.” And she had. The room was painted sage green with chocolate brown accents giving it a warm, homey feel while still being elegant. The room would be a lovely break from where she currently lived.

Meredith beamed. “Thanks! How did you decorate your place?”

Alicia fought hard not to scoff at the very idea. “It kind of came already decorated. Maybe I’ll do a bit more in my next apartment.”

“If you need some ideas, I’d be happy to help,” Meredith volunteered as she bounced on the edge of the bed.

Alicia figured that if she ever did get a place, she just might need the other woman’s help because it hadn’t even crossed her mind to try to decorate her current apartment. Of course, there wasn’t much she could have done to improve the look of that place. No sense in spending her hard-earned money on décor that would have done little to improve things.

“I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for the offer,” Alicia said. “I should probably go home now.”

“Really?” Meredith frowned as she got off the bed and headed toward the door with Bond at her side.
