Chapter 579

• Neutrals, softness, and a cozy large leather bed with a million cushions artfully placed in the center of a huge suede-covered wall. Plush carpeting in a soft mink, fur rugs, and a chaise longue at the bed with a lot of beautiful furniture and seating dotted around. It’s a complete haven, a room fit for reading in, lying around, and relaxing in, or long romantic nights of passion by candlelight. I can already envision lazy Sunday mornings with Jake in this room, wandering around half dressed or just nakedly christening every surface I can see.
• The view of the sea, beyond the large wide windows facing us, is perfection.
• “It’s gorgeous.” I breathe, letting go of his hand to walk forward and trail my fingers over a furry throw on the back of a beautiful armchair in the softest camel-colored fabric. Immersing myself in the peaceful serenity of this room and catch my breath as I spot a large, traditional, dark wood crib nestled in a nook by the en suite door near the bed. Jake has obviously chosen this. It looks like it belongs there, perfectly suited to the old meets new style and cozy features of the room; the wood matches our bedframe. I turn and smile at him with watery eyes and a lump in my heart. His returning smile tells me he knows what I’ve spotted; a special moment passing between us that Miss. Briggs. is completely oblivious to.
