That must’ve been where Bruno’s smell had come from His house

From the outside it looked like a normal house, but on the inside, the walls were exposed wood and cedar beaant coffee brownish/black And there wasn’t a speck of dirt anywhere on the floor

I immediately toed my boots off in the entrance, happy to see that he’d done much the same as he’d walked inside and I followed behind him as he made his way into the house

It wasn’t a huge house

Based on looking at the outside, I had to guess that the house was a three bedroom But when I walked into the entranceway and was is—vaulted and absolutely stunning—I knew thatpicture fro the outside

“Wow,” I said as I took the house in “This place is stunning”

The front door faced the back door, and the whole roohts were off The a was sensational

“I don’t re it,” he admitted “I know that this place is mine The plans obviously arethe roo when I sketched this place out, but I don’t re it built”

I looked at hined this place?”

He nodded once as he gestured toward the kitchen that was off to the left of the large room “Come wash your hands Then I’ll show you to your room”

A pang of sadness hit me at that

I’d spent the last nights in his room, with him I didn’t want my own room

Yet, that would be a bit irrational ofas the man barely knew me—even if he did have his memory back—so I kept my mouth shut

He walked over to the kitchen sink and washed his own hands before he gestured for me to take his vacated spot

“I’round into the dirt and left to fester for days Let me show you to your room on the way?”
