Jacob collected me on Friday evening from my office. I was tired, I knew I looked it as well. Jane had been fussing over me so much I’d snapped at her and felt like a shit all day. Of course, I’d apologised immediately and she gave me a hug, which made me feel more of a shit. I told her I was taking a week’s holiday and the fact that she agreed I needed it, showed me I’d probably been making her life a little hard of late.

What I hadn’t confessed to anyone was, as much as I’d been a workaholic and I’d loved all aspects of my business, I didn’t anymore. I loved my growing bump more. I wanted to ‘nest’ and was desperate to unpack boxes and set up furniture. Jacob wanted me to wait for a carpenter he knew to come and do it. I assumed he would be ex-military, since those were the people he seemed to know the most. Obviously, I preferred the furniture to be put up properly, but my growing excitement was making me feel impatient. And annoyingly, he’d organised for the nursery at his house to be done first.

When we arrived at his, I saw why.

Jacob walked me around and detailed everything that he’d had done. There were rugs, carpet in some rooms to cover the polished concrete. He had soft furnishings, corners had been rounded, plug sockets had been covered.

“You know we would have had months before we needed to do any of that, don’t you?” I asked, chuckling.

“I know, but I found an interior designer who ‘babied up’ homes. So, I did this as a surprise for you. I wanted you to feel more comfortable here.”

“In the hope that I’d move in with you?” I asked, smirking at him.

The idea, one he’d posed some time ago, was becoming more tempting. Especially since I’d realised the drive into London wasn’t as awful and I’d decided to work part time. I hadn’t told him that, though.

“No, in the hope that you’d see I’m taking this seriously,” he answered, pulling me to his side and kissing the top of my head.

He walked me around the downstairs, showing me rooms I hadn’t seen before. He had a gorgeous library where he’d added a desk for me.

“I thought you might like to work from here, while you’re here, of course.” I ran my hand over the large oak desk that faced floor-to-ceiling glass and looked out over acres of land.

I nodded, knowing full well I could work there.

We headed back down the vast hallway and he paused at one door. “This is my office,” he said before keying in a code on a pad and the door clicking open.

Once inside, I appreciated the security.

It was a beautiful office, light and spacious with one wall covered entirely with bookshelves. Every file was colour-coded, and labels precisely written at the exact angles and height on the file. Super organised. The wall to the side of the desk was covered in monitors.
