“One is gray, the other is matte, and that one is satin. Can you see the difference now?”
He shook his head, laughing. “No. They’re all still gray.”
I teased, “Are you color blind?”
He smiled, tugging me toward him. “The only thing I’m blind for is you, Capri.”
We did this a lot, dreaming of our future together.
My fingers slid along the island in his kitchen, recalling the first time we talked about this granite.
We were so happy.
So in love.
So consumed with one another.
He gripped my ass and lifted me onto the counter of the island at my house. My parents weren’t home, and he spread my legs, slipping between them to kiss my neck.
“Elias!” I giggled. “I need to study.”
“I’m studying you.”
“Do you like the granite I picked out for our future home?”
“I’m more interested in these freckles.” He kissed all over my face.
Step by step.
Inch by inch.
I made my way through his home.
Hearing his laughter.
Seeing his smiles.
Feeling our love all around me.
Starting from the front door to over the threshold, to the stairs, and the travertine floors. Every corner of this house held a memory of the future we planned together.
There was no escaping it…
The good.
The bad.
This was why I felt so much emotion when I first walked inside.
An endless amount of time and devotion was put into every detail of this home, down to the pillows on the sofas and how the accessories were perfectly matched to the tones of the room.
It was all laid out in front of me like I was the one who did it.
Under all the hurt.
The things we could never take back.
I still felt our profound love in this home.
