I didn't know what surprised me more: Ian's room filling half of the second floor, this humongous house not having a guest room, or the fact that I had to sleep in the same room as Ian. Even though there was enough space to run back and forth and dance and do whatnot—the place was like a penthouse, the only thing missing the kitchen—the idea didn't sit well in my stomach.

I looked at the massive bed stretching beside me and wondered who in the world needed so much space to sleep. Unless you were Bigfoot or weighed more than four hundred pounds—or planned to sleep with three people—the size of the bed was completely over the top. The same as with the room.

I frowned. It almost seemed as if everything in this house had been built to lead a secluded life—his parents on one side of the house and Ian on the other, each one in their own big, fancy furnished world, with no need to come out.

I spotted a black polished table next to one of the glass walls displaying a clear, open view of the trees located behind the house. A beautiful sight, but suffused with so much loneliness that it gave my heart a little squeeze. I imagined Ian having meals by himself at that table, contemplating a landscape that must've lost its appeal over the years. Then I imagined Lola bringing him a tray full of brownies and a glass of milk and the image suddenly transformed, bathed in glow and warm colors.

“Here,” Ian's voice brought me back from the vision. “I found this for you.” He placed a folded blue shirt and gray pants on the bed. “They'll be big on you but…you'll sleep comfortable.”

I picked up the shirt and read the bold letters that sat above the image of a cute-looking cupcake. “Stud?”

He shrugged. “A birthday gift,” he offered as an explanation. “I would've given you one of Cheryl's shirts but she kills anyone who touches her garments.” He said mockingly, as if he'd been quoting the unknown woman.

“Who's Cheryl?” I asked.

“Dad's girlfriend.”

By the tone of his voice, I could see the relation between them was on shaky grounds. Not wanting to get into personal stuff, I grabbed the pants and said, “Where's the bathroom?”

“Through the closet,” he indicated, pointing to a black sliding door made of the same sleek, polished material as the table.

I closed the distance with the cool door, watching my hesitant hand reflected on its glossy surface as it pushed the sliding barrier to the side. My breath caught in my throat. Spreading before me was the most amazing walk-in closet my eyes had seen. The floor was covered with the softest ivory carpet, calling to one's mind images of snow-coated fields and white furs. Thick glass shelves filled the walls, reminding me of solid slabs of ice in the harshest wintery night, and the hanging rods were translucent, not metallic or woody as one would've expected.

A black and white bathroom sat at the end, a blend of fine marble wrapping its entire architecture.
