“I by no means mentioned we had been going to the greenhouse.”

“The place are we going?”

“The storage.”

“You might have a burning have to do one thing you forgot within the storage at midnight? Final I checked, the storage was piled excessive with a lot junk you possibly can barely even transfer. You by no means even go in there, babe. So, why the hell are you dragging me in there proper now?”

Lily turns again and appears at me over her shoulder, her eyes narrowed at me. “You may be actually tough. Have you learnt that?”

“I may be tough? Babe, you’re the one hauling our asses away from bed once we might be doing different issues I’d a lot quite be doing.”

“We will’t solely have intercourse, child.”

That will get a choked snigger out of me. She simply fucked me, but when she thinks we’re ready till the marriage to do it once more, it’s not fucking taking place. “Since when?”

“Properly, we are able to principally have intercourse on a regular basis. However generally we have to do different stuff, too.”

“What sort of stuff, Lemon?”

“Cowl your eyes.”

“Did you convey me out right here to homicide me, babe?”

“Sure, that’s been my plan all alongside. To reluctantly date you till I fell so in love with you that I agreed to marry you after which instantly homicide you.”

“Properly, whenever you say it like that…” I mutter. “Inform me you like me once more, Lemon.”

“I really like you, child. You know the way a lot I really like you. I let you know each single day.”

“I do know you do. And it by no means will get outdated. I really like listening to it each single time.”

“I really like you, child. Now cowl your eyes. I promise I gained’t homicide you. In all probability.”

“Yeah, it’s the most likely that has me frightened,” I mutter as I shut my eyes.

I hear a creaking that sounds just like the storage door opening. After which the buzzing of the outdated tube lighting earlier than I see the change in brightness via my closed eyes. Lily takes my arms and slowly walks me ahead.

“Cautious. Step up,” she tells me as we stroll contained in the storage.

I’m stunned each of us may even slot in right here. The final time I appeared within the storage, it was so stuffed with junk from Lily’s grandparents that I simply closed the door and walked away. It was at the back of my thoughts to clear it out for her sooner or later. If I added some develop lights, she might use the house for extra of her vegetation.

“Okay, open your eyes, child.”

Blinking within the mild, I go searching me. “What the hell is that this?”

“It’s for you.” She’s frowning at me. She seems to be frightened. I hate it when she’s frightened. I hate it when she’s doing something aside from smiling. As a result of I by no means need my Lemon to be something aside from completely satisfied.

Glancing round, I barely acknowledge the place. All of the junk that was piled excessive to the ceiling is gone. It’s been utterly cleared out. The partitions are lined with work benches. My woodworking stuff from the farm is all right here. The benches are lined in my saws and equipment. My instruments are hanging from new peg boards on the partitions. It’s a full woodworking store.

“What the hell did you do, Lemon?”

“I… it was a shock for you. As a result of I used to be asking you to maneuver in with me tonight. Formally. I would like this place to be our home. Not simply my home. And I really like your woodworking. You make such lovely issues. I wish to promote a few of it in my store. And I figured you’d most likely want someplace to go to flee from me generally. I’ve my greenhouse. However I don’t need you to go any farther than this storage whenever you want a time-out from me. But when it’s not what you need or not the way you need it… we are able to change it. You don’t need to maintain it like this. Or when you don’t need it to be a workshop. You may have a person cave out right here. No matter you need. Do you hate it?”

“Hate it, Lemon?” My eyes are simply attempting to take all of it in. “How did you even do that? When did you even do that?”

“I had a number of assist out of your dad and your brothers. And Gunnar. However principally Jacks, so that you wouldn’t discover anybody slacking on the farm. Everyone pitched in. They love you virtually as a lot as I do. However, I’m critical. For those who don’t prefer it, it’s okay. The entire level was to provide you your individual house. You are able to do no matter you need with it.”

“I don’t need my very own house, babe. You understand I all the time need you proper on high of me. However this…”
