Chapter Nine

“Do I understand you will let me protect you?” Gab asked Grace. He was driving her to his house. “I’ll stay at the cabin with you, and you can sleep without worrying.”

“There are conditions. You will sleep in the other room.”

“Why?”

“We’re moving fast as it is. I want to know the person you’ve become before I fall in love with you. If I do,” she added. She was lying again. She’d pretty much fallen all the way, but she still feared making a fool of herself the second time around.

“Darlin’, you know you love me. But I understand you aren’t ready to say so. It’s the trust issue.” He glanced her way. “I hope it doesn’t take as long for you to trust me as it took me to realize and admit you were the one I loved and wanted.”

He took a right turn and drove for another mile before she saw the house in the distance.

“You wanted some serious privacy.”

“Yes. I’m going to fence the five acres around here, and the gate at the front will have a code to open it. I’ll be able to open it from a connection in the house or a link I’ll carry in my pocket.”

Grace didn’t respond. She stared at the house as they got closer. She saw a wide front porch and several chimneys. There was a barn in the background. When he stopped, she turned to him with tears in her eyes.

“You built my dream house. The one I described to you during that summer.”

“I remembered later. You must have described it twenty times. It stuck in my head. I liked the design. When I knew I wanted to get you back, I decided to build this for you.” He swung his hand out to encompass the whole area. Then he went around and opened her door.

“Come in. See if you like it.” He brushed the tears from her cheeks. “I didn’t want to make you cry.”

“I can’t believe you recalled all those silly dreams of mine.”

He gave her a lopsided grin. “Although part of me said run if you want to see the world, another part must have been taking in all you were saying.”

Grace was overwhelmed with conflicting emotions of joy and sadness. She’d never expected he’d build her house. Shaking inside, she stepped forward. Gab took her arm and led her into the living room.

The double fireplace she’d envisioned between the living room and family room had been set right in the middle of the wall between. It was just as she’d drawn. Wide front windows gave a view of the rolling hills toward the road.

He walked her into the family room and to the left where the kitchen had been built. He watched her closely.

Her hand went to her mouth. The kitchen area was huge with two wall ovens, a modern stove, big refrigerator, and a nook at one end for sitting. At the other end was a pantry big enough for the large family she’d wanted.
