EiraI awoke with a frantic start. Rays of sunlight were already seeping in through the window. With each movement I made, my muscles protested and yet the corners of my lips stretched up into a smile as I turned to the other side. But my smile dropped immediately I faced the empty space next to me. My gaze frantically traveled across the expanse of the room and I could see that Sebastian was nowhere to be found.I really hated the way my heart plummeted with disappointment. I hated the feeling and I felt stupid because of it. I had made a stupid decision last night and the consequences of the irrational decision which I made last night were beginning to suffocate me. I struggled to get up from the bed to pick up my silk nightdress. After I was properly dressed and looking appropriate enough, I pulled my hair up into a messy bun and finally headed out of my room. I headed to Liam's room to check up on him but I froze when I heard the sound of his laughter coming from downstairs. My br

EiraI looked stared in surprise at Sebastian, filling up the doorway of the in with brown packages in his hands. After our last argument, I was almost certain that he would have been discouraged from coming back here. Liam didn't say much to me through out the rest of the day. I tried not to think too much about it but at the back of my head, I knew he was upset with me because he heard him tell his father not to come back. Dinner had been almost unbearable. Liam didn't really eat much and he was very quiet which was unlike him. I was almost tempted to beg him to talk to me but decided it would be more of a better option, if I had let him be. I bet talking to me was the last thing that he wanted to do. I was surprised at the burst of relief that flooded through me as I glanced at Sebastian who looked at me, the challenge to confront him was in his eyes. He was almost impossible to miss."You really didn't think I'd stay away, did you?" He said as he walked in, both hands filled with

EiraI didn't know how best to process it. Process what he had just said. It was really happening. He really meant it when he promised me that he would stay this time. "Moving in?" I said, astonished. It was taking quite a long time to register what he had said. He looked at me expectantly, waiting for me to respond and somehow the words were stuck in my throat. I was unable to process any reasonable response. "Take your time. I don't want you to rush into making a decision because you feel obligated to but I would really appreciate it if you give me a chance to be there for you and Liam" he said. I remained silent, still processing all that he had just said. The walk with Liam was soothing, and yet my nerves were on edge. Sebastian request completely disconcerted me. Was I ready to really take that big step. Was I ready to allow him move in with us. Yes, I knew that I wanted him around. I also knew that I wanted him to stay but coming to terms with it, was one thing. Accepting it w

EiraSomehow Liam clutched my hand tightly, I could tell now that we were in a building, or knew because I could no longer register the chill breeze hitting my skin. Somehow the air seemed to have changed. I felt the cloth being yanked away from my head immediately and my eyes came in contact with the grand double doors that loomed above us. I was unable to recognize where we were. The strangers opened the door and I clutched Liam's small hand tightly as we walked in. It was a grand dining room. On the long dining table that filled almost the middle of the room and occupied a lot of space. I saw a man sitting at the end of the table, he leaned casually across his chair, tossing the food around on his plate with a fork and not quite eating it. A bored expression was etched on his face and as if he could sense someone else in the room, his Head immediately snapped, his gaze meeting mine almost immediately. My brows furrowed in confusion and it took me a long moment to finally register

Eira I didn't know which direction I was heading towards. All I knew was that I needed to get away from Graham and his insufferable questioning. I could still feel my anger lingering. I knew sooner or later, I had to make moves to return to the comfort of my inn. Where I had my privacy, where I had my peace, where I knew Liam was safe and Sebastian was there. Liam had asked me if he was going to see his father again and even though I could feel the uncertainty eating up at me. I just couldn't tell him that there was a possibility that he might not see Liam. Not just because of him but for the sake of Sebastian's safety as well. My subconscious nagged me about how I was making decisions for a man that was capable of making decisions of his own. For a man who could take care of himself. At the back of my head, I knew Sebastian wouldn't want me making decisions for me. He wouldn't want to be kept away from his son. I didn't want to keep them apart either, they made me happy, they both m
