I

closed the door on my new home. Ryan’s sister’s place turned out to be perfect. A little small, but roomy enough for visits from my family. I had furniture on order that would be arriving later in the week. I needed everything, and I spent so much money that my bank called to make sure my card hadn’t been stolen.

Touring the house had been ... strange. I was only renting now, but I had the option to buy it, and as I walked through the house with Ryan, I just couldn’t fight the odd sense of being home. How could a house speak to you? How could a house tell you that you that you belonged there? Somehow, I knew I was going to buy this house. I saw myself here watching television, cooking in the kitchen. I saw Maggie here with me and my mother and the boys. I would have a life here.

The bedrooms weren’t huge but getting creative with space saving furniture would be fine. For the guest room, I ordered a bed with drawers underneath, eliminating the need for a dresser. Instead of a king-sized bed for the master, I got a queen. That just meant Maggie and I would sleep closer when we were at my place—and there was really nothing wrong with that.

Creaky, blonde-colored hardwood floors ran throughout the single-floor, cabin-style house. They were scuffed but not overly so. They had character and told the story of people who had lived here before me. The knotty pine walls of the living room were painted a soft sage and a large stone fireplace took up most of a wall. I wasn’t a fan of putting a television over a fireplace, so I would need to get creative on its placement. There was a galley kitchen, but it had a nice-sized eating area that would be roomy enough for five more people should my mother decided to visit the same time as Dev and the boys.

The backyard was perfect. Flat and fenced in. It didn’t have much in the way of a lawn, but it had a few good-looking trees for climbing and maybe that treehouse. There was already a beautiful fieldstone patio big enough for a table and grill with a pergola over top that I knew I could order a cover for to provide some shade.

The house was cozy and had character. I already had ideas for how to add on two other rooms. I would need an office and another guest room. The living room set I had coming had pull out beds, so the boys would be fine there for now. Overall, I was feeling good about the place. If all went well, the furniture would be here in time for the boys’ visit.

I thought signing a more permanent lease and buying my own furniture and dishes and all that would make me feel sad or like I was betraying my family by committing to settling in here and giving Grayson Falls a real chance.
