showing her rather than telling her. Either way, she spent the majority of the trip looking out the window in silence.
I wanted to do what I could to make her feel comfortable. I didn’t want her to worry that there was some devastating news in front of her. I had no idea how she would take the news I was about to drop on her, but I hoped that it would go over well. In an attempt to set her mind at ease, I reached over and took her hand in mind. Almost immediately, the tenseness in her body seemed to disappear and she began to relax for the first time during the trip. She looked over at me, placed her other hand on top of mine and smiled. She was right there with me no matter what. I knew it and she didn’t even have to say a word to convey that to me.
The drive seemed like it was taking forever. It was just an illusion because there was nearly no traffic and we actually made it to Bear Mountain in record time. When the car pulled to a stop, Natalia turned her attention from me to look out the window. We were as close to the middle of nowhere as you could get. In front of us was a quaint house located in the center of a wooded area. I was happy to see that there was a single light on in the house since I hadn’t called ahead to let them know I would be coming.
“Here we are,” I said to Natalia. “Are you ready to learn something about me that very few people know?”
“I’m ready. At least, I think I am,” she replied.
We got out of the car and walked up to the front porch. I led the way while Natalia followed close behind. Once we were in front of the door, I adjusted my clothes to make sure I looked presentable. A glance over to Natalia showed that she was nervous although she had no idea why. I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.
CHAPTER ELEVEN
Natalia
I wondered what was going on. For the entire drive to Bear Mountain, my mind kept going back and forth as I tried to imagine what kind of secret he might have to share with me. I couldn’t imagine it would be something good. Why would he drag me so far away from home if it wasn’t bad? At the same time, it seemed odd that he would want to travel almost an hour away from his home to share bad news with me. I decided to stop over thinking things and let the chips fall where they may.
When we pulled up to the house, I couldn’t believe how adorable it was. It was exactly the type of house that I’ve always dreamed of living in. It wasn’t the big sprawling mansion that Kaiden lived in, but it was far bigger than my tiny little apartment. There were gorgeous, mature trees all around it and a long driveway leading right up to the front of the house. Most of the time, when you have homes located out in the middle of nowhere, they appear to be scary, especially at night. Not this house, though. Even with only one light on inside, the house seemed warm and inviting.
Once Kaiden rang the doorbell, I felt like I was in the middle of a movie. I was on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what would happen next. After a few moments, I heard the door lock disengage and the door opened slowly. Inside, there was an older woman who greeted us with a smile.
“Kaiden,” she said. “It’s really great to see you. He’s already asleep but please, come in.”
I wasn’t sure who this woman was, but she seemed incredibly warm and sweet. She was obviously very familiar with Kaiden and looked extremely happy to see him. The woman looked over at me, never allowing the smile to leave her face.
“And who do we have here?”
“This is Natalia. Natalia, I’d like you to meet Eva,” Kaiden said, seemingly proud to be introducing the two of us.
“It’s nice to meet you, Natalia.”
“Likewise.”
Other than the fact that her name was Eva, I still had no clue who this woman was. I wanted to ask, but I didn’t want to seem pushy. Kaiden looked to have a plan in place and I figured I would
