“So, this is your place,” I say as Hudson opens the door for us and ushers me into the foyer of his house.

Hudson lives in a two-story white house right on the water and only about a block and a half away from his restaurant, Prim + Proper. The place is beautiful with a bunch of windows to let in natural light and provide amazing views of the lake and bridge behind it.

“Yeah, this is my home,” he says and I let him take my hand and give me a quick tour.

There are dark brown hardwood floors running throughout the first floor and up the stairs. The walls are white and I wonder if that’s by choice or if he just didn’t want to bother with painting them a different color.

The living room and stairs are to the right and the dining room is to the left. Neither are decorated very much, just the bare necessities like a couch, TV, kitchen table, and chairs.

He leads me down the hallway, past the stairs and into the kitchen. It’s obvious that this is the room that he loves the most.

The counters and the appliances all gleam under the lights. There are cookbooks on the shelf under the kitchen island, spices lined up on a huge shelf that almost covers an entire section of wall, and shiny copper pots and pans hang from the rack on the ceiling.

The cabinets are painted a dark teal color that matches the hardwood floors and white backsplash perfectly.

“I like it,” I tell him as he pulls out a cushioned stool for me at the counter. “It looks like what I imagine is a chef’s dream kitchen. Is that why you bought this place?”

“Partly. I like the layout but what really sold it for me was the location. I have my own little slice of beach right outside those doors,” he says, nodding to the double back doors.

“Yeah, that would sell it for me too. I always dreamed about falling asleep with the windows open, the sound of waves lulling me to sleep,” I say with a sigh and Hudson grins at me.

“I haven’t done that yet. Maybe I’ll have to try it one of these nights.”

“I bet it’s relaxing.”

“Me too,” he says as I take a seat and he leans down, kissing me before he heads over to the deep copper sink to wash his hands.

“So, what are we eating for dinner?” I ask him as he starts to pull some vegetables and other ingredients out of the fridge.

“I thought I’d make us some chicken since we had fish the other night.”

“Can I help with anything?”

“Sure,” he says as he pulls out a cutting board and a knife.

“I should warn you that I’m not great in the kitchen,” I say as I slide off of the stool and go to wash my hands.

“It will be okay. I’ll show you a few tips.”

I wash my hands and move to join him at the counter. He passes me some carrots and a peeler and I get to work.
