Chapter Eleven – Elise

A warm breeze woke Elise. For the second morning in a row, she opened her eyes and didn’t know where she was, or if it was a dream. Reaching out, her hand touched Hank’s and a rush of awareness swept over her.

“Is this where I make you breakfast?” she asked, rolling over and stroking his face.

“We could have eggs.” He lifted his head and rested it on his hand. “I could get used to you being the first thing I see every morning. I usually look out at the view.”

Elise slid out of bed and stood at the open window looking out. “I can see why.” Outside the window, the forest stood permanent and yet ever-changing. “I like it here.” She listened to the birds calling and the distant sound of a wolf howling.

“It’s quiet. I like to sit and watch the seasons change.” Hank came to stand next to her, his arm draped over her shoulders. “Bear Creek is the first place I ever considered setting down roots. I explored the hills and mountains, then I saw this house and knew this was it, my home. It needed work, but I had the experience, and so I put it back together. I made it mine.”

“I didn’t know that. I thought it was a rental.” Elise looked up at her mate. “Do you think there’s enough room for all my belongings? I can sell the furniture…”

Hank looked down at her, his expression an unreadable mix of emotions. “You don’t have to… If you don’t like it, we can live somewhere else. It’s just a house.”

“Says the man who told me to hold onto my belongings.” She turned around and cupped his face in her hands. “I want to live here with you. Surrounded by nature. By life.” Elise stood on tiptoes and kissed his lips. “If you’ll have me.”

“Always.” He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close. Holding her like he’d never let her go.

But she had to go. They’d slept late, and she needed to get home and change before she went to work. “Can we meet later?” She stepped back. “I’ll text you.”

“No breakfast?” he asked.

“I don’t have time.” Elise retrieved her clothes and hastily dressed. “If I stay tonight, I’ll bring a change of clothes. And a few other things.” She kissed his lips quickly.

“Roomies by stealth, I like it.” He walked her downstairs. “Not even coffee?”

Elise looked at her watch. “I can’t.” She kissed him again, and then grabbed her purse and ran out to her car. “When all is lost, think of me, underneath the Wishing Tree.”

Hank chuckled and blew her a kiss. “I need to write you a new song. Oh, darlin’, please don’t go, don’t you know I love you so?” He cupped his hands over his heart and broke into his heartbreakingly deep voice.

Rolling down the window, she waved as she drove away. “It’ll be a sure-fire hit!” She giggled as she drove home, shaking her head at his theatrics.
