The taxi dropped us off in front of the house.

I found it ironic that Jax lived just down the street. Finn would drive right past his house every day on his way to the city. It was a nice neighborhood, the ideal place to raise a family away from the bustling sounds of the cars, pedestrians, and canneries. Finn wasn’t the family kind of guy, so maybe he was looking for the peace and quiet.

The house itself was gorgeous. Two stories with a manicured lawn, it had three large trees, a two-car garage, and a nice porch out front. The house was settled back away from the road, so the plants and trees kept it somewhat secluded. And if you were quiet enough, you could actually hear the waves from the bay. “Finn…this place is beautiful.”

“Thanks.” He walked past the SOLD sign and headed to the front door. He greeted his real estate agent and introduced me before we were allowed inside.

The double doors opened into a nice foyer, a staircase that led to the second floor. To the left was the living room, surrounded by a solid wall of glass that showed the large backyard. It must have been remodeled because it had a sleek and modern look to it. The kitchen had a space big enough for a dining table, and the kitchen itself was huge, having an island and lots of counter space. Not to mention, there were two ovens. “Uh…I’m in love with your house.”

Finn took me upstairs and showed me the bedrooms. There was the master, an office space, and two bedrooms.

This house must have been insanely expensive. I wasn’t sure how he could have afforded it, even as a physician. He must have been given a big bonus from the military…or he had another trick up his sleeve.

Finn followed behind me as he watched me take it all in. “Have any ideas?”

“Well, for starters, it’s so beautiful that you could probably get any furniture you wanted and it won’t matter.” I examined the freshly painted walls and the hardwood floors. “And anything will go with these floors. You found a really great place, Finn. I might have to move in.”

He came to my side and flashed me a half smile. “Not the worst idea I’ve ever heard.”

I headed back downstairs and into the living room. “You can fit a lot of couches in here. Perfect for having a ton of people over for the game.” I turned back to him, watching him stand near the fireplace with his arms crossed over his chest. With those jeans that hung low on his hips, he looked like a man who belonged on a billboard more than in a uniform.

“Where should we start? Don’t say IKEA.”

I chuckled. “No. This place needs something more elegant than that.”

“Not Pottery Barn either,” he said. “More masculine than that.”

“We can make that work.” When we were finished looking around, we walked out and the real estate agent locked the door behind us.
