No eerie pictures from my dreams adorned the bedroom suite. The room was a light blue with white trim. Normal. The thought kept me sane as I finished cleaning up in the bathroom. Robert's rooms gave me more confidence. His walls were bare and it was clear nothing had ever hung on them. This was more like my own room growing up. Simple, though his was more elegant as the floors were mahogany.

Dragons, wolves, dogs, pups. Everyone here kept accusing me of forgetting, or not knowing, but my mind hummed with images of all of these things, always coming around to the white face of the dead man in the portrait.

As I left the bathroom, I stood by the massive window. Snow now fell outside and I was mesmerized for a few seconds. This was the fourth time I ever saw snow.

Then a thought raced through my mind that caused my pulse to quicken. Serena died from leaving a window open and someone had broken in or was that just something told to the children? If I’d made up a story for children, it wouldn’t be a break-in but more like a “moved to the farm” theme. At least nothing stirred in the twilight.

I pulled the curtains shut as I heard the door click and turned around to face Robert. His dimples stirred something inside me that made my lips part and my body temperature soar. He closed the door and crossed the room. My heart thumped as his strong arms wrapped around me. His lips briefly met mine, and I felt the world lift me up. "Daphne."

My body was lax as my hands reached out to hold his shoulders and keep him close. "You’re back."

He sighed and again showed me his sexy dimple. "I've not had the urge to write in almost a year. It was like I became me again, but I should have shown you around first."

The smell of the forest and the image of a cave protecting us overwhelmed me. "Robert, I'm just glad you're here."

He stepped away, but took my hands in his. "Are you hungry?"

My stomach growled. I hadn't eaten since the plane ride, and that wasn't a filling meal. "Yes."

"Good. You'll need your strength." He winked at me and took out his phone. "So let's go downstairs and get something."

He turned, and cold dread enveloped me. Night was almost here but I didn't want our moment to end. I had so many questions. I swallowed my pride. "Can we stay in the room instead? I want to talk."

His brow lifted. "I'll have Mrs. Adams bring dinner up."

Goosebumps at the woman's name went down my spine. I imagined her telling me to fetch my own meal. "Perfect, but don't take too long. I want to be with you."

His sexy stare made my stomach flip, then he dropped his phone on the bed and took my hands. "I texted her. Food should be here in twenty minutes."

So many questions flew through my mind. His children, his brother, and everyone’s active imagination.
