章 45: Chapter 46: Autumn Cherries

ELAINA

From Washington D.C., Neil brought me to Scotland.

He'd told me he just wanted one weekend where we could rest and be together, without any distractions from work, or the myriad of other problems that had a way of taking one's attention away from what you really wanted to be doing. He needed me all to himself, according to him.

He'd also said that it was time for me to see his inheritance from the uncle he'd never met.

The whole idea of it still amazed me. Neil, a landowner, and from the looks of it, there was a lot of land involved.

"I can't believe this," I mumbled looking from the window as the car pulled into a long drive bordered with more trees.

"What can't you believe, Cherry?" Neil was doing that thing where he liked to surprise me and gave virtually no information, just to torture me. Made me insane, but he sure seemed to be enjoying himself.
