She was glad that Lucas had driven. The traffic before the holiday weekend was horrendous. Everyone seemed in a hurry to get a start on the long weekend. And having not ventured outside of the Albany area yet, she wasn’t familiar with the Northway. She was just as happy to sit back and enjoy the ride, if bumper-to-bumper was considered enjoyment.

Before they reached his house, they mutually decided to detour to the grocery store for the makings of dinner. Neither of them had any desire to go out more than they needed to this weekend.

The Range Rover’s door shut with a thud that echoed through the garage. With her arms loaded down with groceries, Brooke followed Lucas through the door that he was currently holding open with his foot, since his own hands were carrying her suitcase and his briefcase.

Entering a small mudroom, she watched while he slid off his shoes and then did the same. They walked down a long wide hallway, her bare feet cool on the dark hardwood floors that seemed to run through the entire downstairs. She noticed a formal dining room on one side and what looked to be double doors leading into an office on the other side. From there the hallway ended in a massive open space.

The first thing she noted was the view of the lake. It wasn’t hard to miss. Floor to ceiling glass, close to twenty-five feet high, filled her eyes with sunlight, decking, beach and water. It was absolutely breathtaking. She felt she could stand rooted to this spot for hours and never grow tired of the view. “This is stunning,” she said in amazement.

He put his hand on her lower back, guiding her to the side and a few steps back into a large gourmet kitchen. She absently placed the grocery bags on the granite counter of the center island, and registered he must have left her suitcase and briefcase somewhere else.

She helped him unload and store their food away in the stainless steel refrigerator and dark cherry cabinets.

“Let’s finish this up quick, and we can get you situated. I’d say I’d give you a tour, but you are pretty much seeing it all. Well, on this level at least. Four bedrooms upstairs, two baths, finished basement—more of a guest suite, actually, down there,” he informed her, then stored the last empty grocery bag away.

He was right. She could see the rest of the downstairs from just about anywhere once they came out of the hallway. It was a huge open space, almost giving the illusion of living outdoors.

There was a small informal eating area in front of the kitchen. To the right was a big living room, with simple but plush and comfortable-looking black leather furniture, half the pieces facing a stone fireplace, the other pieces facing the view of the lake. Of course, a large flat screen TV dominated one wall.

Stepping further into the living room, she noticed a staircase tucked into the far corner, leading above to a landing that overlooked the view beyond, along with the living area below.
