Secrets of Us A Forbidden Love Romance (Alina) novel Chapter 143

I’ll Say Them–1

I spend the next hour in the kitchen, putting away the groceries we bought earlier in the day. The guys are in and out of the cabin, grabbing the things from the car and placing them in their appropriate rooms and spaces.

I smile to myself as I place the things in the pantry.

The inside of the cabin feels so much more homey than the outside. It’s warm with wooden beams and naturally colored wood furniture. There are no photos up, just like

there aren’t any in the house.

It makes me wonder about the memories Zaid has in this place and if there are any

indications of them besides the reminders he has in his head.

I sigh, walking around the kitchen island to stand in front of the large windows that look

out into the snow–covered forest outside.

It’s freezing, but it looks like a fairytale out there. It stopped snowing a bit ago, so now

it’s the softness that I look at. I want to throw myself into it.

I walk out of the kitchen and head into the living room. I run my fingers over the back of

the couch as I take it all in, my eyes landing on the fireplace, where Jake has already lit a

fire.

The flames flicker, and my stomach coils at the sight. It’s perfect. I can picture myself

sitting at the end of the day with a book in one hand and a hot chocolate in the other.

I turn to the guys as they walk in from the snow. They stomp their feet on the mat inside

and shake off their coats and boots. Aiden has a handful of firewood in his hands and he

carries them to the fireplace, setting them for when we need them later.

Jake walks over to me, pressing a kiss to the crown of my head. “What should we make for

dinner?”

I sigh, thinking of the dinner list we made when we went grocery shopping. “That sausage soup you talked about sounds good.”

He hums.

Dil Say Them!

I run my hands down my arms. “I think I’m going to head up and take a shower.”

As soon as the words leave my mouth, the three of them freeze, staring at me like I just suggested something scandalous.

Aiden smiles, rubbing his hand down his neck. “Um, you want to do that by yourself?”
