Chapter 56

• Aria's POV
• The cottage was a modest but charming structure nestled in the middle of town. The exterior was painted a soft cream color, with cheerful blue shutters framing the windows. A small front porch with a few steps led up to the entrance, where a quaint wooden door awaited. The surrounding homes were similar, and I could hear children laughing and playing in the distance.
• This was the perfect place for little Ed to grow. Despite my anger at Denderick, I knew he had made the right choice of accomodation.
