Chapter Twenty-Four: Welcome Home

After spending three additional days in Colorado, snowbound, Emily wasn’t sure how she felt about arriving home in Blessing. Eventually they needed to arrive there but, now that they were nearing town she was apprehensive. Everything had been going so well between Daniel and her. Now with them being back home would things change? Hazel had played matchmaker, setting them up, but had she considered what it would be like for her friend and brother to be in a relationship? Was she ready for that?

There were so many questions and none of them had easy answers. The one that was weighing on her was, what next? They had been inseparable for more than a week as they made their way across country. Now their time together was coming to an end. At least their exclusive time together was coming to an end. There were plenty of people waiting in town to spend time with Daniel.

The holidays were nearly upon them and school was out for the winter break, which meant her time would be free. Daniel, on the other hand, wouldn’t be. Between Hazel, the townsfolk, the start of his new job, and house hunting, she wasn’t sure she’d have much time with him.

“I’ve booked a hotel room for tonight…”

So it starts. Daniel’s words started to fade into the background as the dark cloud settled over her. She knew things couldn’t stay the way they were but knowing it was over was disappointing.

“Are you sure about this?” Daniel’s words pulled her back from her thoughts.

“Huh? Sure about what?”

“Zoned out on me, huh?” Daniel reached over and took her hand in his. “It’s one night, Em. One night and then we can do whatever you want. That is unless you want to forgo our plans for revenge against Hazel?”

“No.” She shifted in her seat, so she could get a better view of him. “Hazel deserves a little payback. But I don’t understand what you mean by one night. Where are you going next?”

“That’s what I was saying when you zoned out. If the offer still stands, I want to stay with you. I can find my own place, or we can find a place together. Whatever you’re more comfortable with, but I want to see you, and I mean I want to see a lot of you. If I had it my way I’d wake up next to you every morning. The thought of spending one night away from you is depressing, let alone thinking about doing it all the time.”

“Then…” She took a deep breath and let it out again. It was a huge jump for her, but she was willing to take it with him. “Stay with me. The cabin isn’t much but it’s home. I thought about adding on when I bought it, but never got around to it. If we’re going to…”

“What?”

“I don’t know…make it our home? Is it too soon to be thinking like that?” Her stomach twisted, waiting for him to back out of the whole thing.
