Chapter 16. New Place, New Beginnings

Stefan’s POV

The next morning was very hectic for us. Tristan and I went to the hospital to get Gran home. Gran was ecstatic to be home. As she settled down in her room, nurse Ellie packed her stuff. Tristan kept Gran company while Rosy helped Martha prepare lunch and with the last-minute packing. I went to talk to John about the upkeep of the mansion and also gave instructions to the security guards.

After lunch, Rosy and Martha cleaned up everything, and we all got ready to leave. After helping Gran into the ambulance, Ellie and Martha sat with her while Tristan sat in the passenger seat and they drove off.

Finally, I could be with Rosy alone. I turned to her to see her wide-eyed and looking at me. “Ready?” I wanted to add, “for me” but I didn’t. She was already nervous, and I didn’t want her running for the hills!

“Yeah, let’s go.” She sounded breathless from all the running around since morning. Or was it because of me and my promise to her last night?
