Walking down the hall, questions began popping in my head making me rethink going there. What if it never works out between us? What if he never likes me? What if it's all a conspiracy? What if I'm left unhappy forever? What if...

The ride started again through a paved road, around a stone carved water fountain and stopped.After Matthew hopped out, I followed behind, my jaw almost dropping to the floor. The huge four-storied white building looked like something out of the magazines. A mellowy fragrance seized my attention to the sides, neatly trimmed rose bushes ornated the garden around as the evening sky ablazed with the last rays of the setting sun casted a warm, orangish glow over it."I think I saw a fly flying in your mouth," Matt whispered, breaking me from my trance.I looked at him, my mouth still hanging open. "It's so beautiful," I gushed.He smiled. "Welcome to the Kings Mansion, Mrs. King!"
