Matt was seated in the lounge, elbows on knees, head dipped down. He knew this house could be everything he needed but, as it stood now, he didnât enjoy coming back here. This was his parentsâ home, not his. They were both gone. He could speak to neither of them. Couldnât tell them about his baby or his plan to marry Hannah. He wanted to be the perfect father, but he didnât know what that was. A stolid family man, just like his father? He didnât want that for his child, but he didnât know anything else.
It looked as though, at any moment, his mother would walk into this place to talk about some charity fundraiser or other. That his father would pour a scotch and retire to his office to work some more, without a smile or any acknowledgement that he was happy to see his son. But they wouldnât. And this house reminded him of them. They were gone. All he had was Sarah.
Feeling Hannahâs presence, he looked up to see her enter the room with a box in her hand.
âThereâs a lot of stuff here. Not a lot of you, though,â Hannah said.
âI havenât spent much time here since leaving boarding school. After school, Alex and I shared an apartment while we studied.â
âIs that where you started Command Technologies?â
âYes. Having Alexâs buy-in, it was easy to attract investors and the capital I needed. Iâm good at leveraging what I have.â He was doing the same thing now. Maybe Hannah would be able to turn this house into a home for them. âWhatâs that?â
âPhotographs. The drawers and cupboards were empty except for this. I was wondering if youâd like to take it with you?â
Of course they were empty. Sarah had wanted very little from here, having inherited the country manor, which sheâd promptly sold, unwilling to move away from her own home. Matt had had people come in to remove what had been left. All of it had either been donated to various charities or auctioned off. He thought his mother would have approved. He didnât recognise the box, though.
He fought the urge to lean into Hannah as she sat beside him, pulling off the lid.
âYou were always a heartbreaker, werenât you?â she said lightly, handing the pictures over. His body tensed. âAre these all your family pictures?â
âThey must be.â They hadnât taken pictures often and, when they had, it had been a planned-out affair. After Matt and Sarah had been sent off to boarding school, the opportunities for such things had become fewer.
âItâs like itâs you but not you,â she said from beside him. âTheyâre so cold.â
He took the pictures, looked at the first one and threw it back into the box, shutting the lid firmly.
âDo you want to talk about it?â Her voice was tentative.
âDo I want...? No, Hannah, I donât,â he said sharply. âThis doesnât concern you.â
âMatt...â
âAre you done snooping? You were supposed to be taking a look at this house to see if it could suit our family.
