Chapter Five

The house... No, not just the house, but her house, was perfect in every way. It was quaint and small. Jacob swung the mammoth SUV onto the smooth concrete driveway and Meg sat, mesmerized.

The front lawn was well manicured with grass all the same length and blooming flowers lining the front walkway to the porch steps. Steps. She had porch steps and a porch! In addition, it was a wraparound porch extending the entire front and side of the cottage. The home was a soothing pale blue with wood siding construction. On either side of the front door were big bay windows with white curtains. And the front door... It was bright cherry-red, accenting the sky-blue of the home.

“If it doesn’t suit you, we can always contact Jacinda. I’m sure she’ll...”

“It’s perfect. Absolutely perfect.” Beyond the color and lawn and anything else she could think of, the most important part of the house was one simple fact: it was hers.

“Well, all right, then.” Jacob exited the car.

Meg quickly followed suit, unable to contain her excitement over seeing the house for the first time. She bounded toward the front door as if springs were attached to her feet and skidded to a halt in front of the wooden barrier. She reached for the doorknob, but Jacob beat her to the brass handle. “Hey!”

“Who has the keys to this operation?” He raised one eyebrow and the corner of his mouth followed suit. His infinitely kissable mouth. Meg stepped aside and he unlocked and opened the door, bowing to her with practiced ease. “After you, madam.”

She curtsied, a small dip of her knees, and skipped through the doorway feeling as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. For the first time she was out on her own in a house that belonged to her--and no lions or other lionesses to listen to.

Inside the home, Meg was awed by what she saw. Cherry hardwood lined the floors of each and every room except the bathrooms which had an off-white tile. All the walls were the institutional white of an apartment, but essentially, she had a blank canvas.

“Wow.” She stood in the living room, taking in the small brick fireplace, the large bay window looking out to the street, and the sheer size of the room. She could easily fit in a couch and loveseat along with a coffee table and entertainment center in the room. Something nice and comfy-cozy to relax on in the evenings.

Her next stop was the dining room that she immediately decided would become her office. For what, she didn’t know, but every entrepreneur needed an office and she’d have one. If only because she could.

Then there was the kitchen. And, oh, my God, a Better Homes and Gardens worthy kitchen. Stainless steel appliances were abundant as was granite on each and every surface. There was an island and a hanging above it for her pots and pans--once she had some.

The other rooms she viewed were just as spacious and gorgeous.
