But that’s not all, the cottage was surrounded by different kinds of trees, which make it looks like you are looking at a painting instead of the actual thing. Lana opened the door of the cottage and once again amused gasps escapes Nikki’s lips as the interior stood before us. It looks like the cottage that we had at The Falls but the only difference is how nature was actually a part of the house itself. In the far right corner, you will be able to see a part of a tree protruding from the wall in the most artistic way.

He said Mr. Lawson reserved the whole villa and doesn't want anyone interrupting him while he's with his cousin…" I clutched her hand tightly, tears streaming down my face.

I asked in confusion but a part of me is beginning to get nervous as I realize that if something happens to me, no one would hear me scream. “Don’t be nervous,” Seth said as he took my hand in his, “You’ll find out the reason soon enough,” he added reassuringly. Seth continued to drive until we reach a big cottage that looks like half of the mall in the plaza. The cottage is a mixture of nature, with a touch of the old and modern world.

The journey takes us to a small village on the coast. The cottage is hidden at the end of a winding path, surrounded by gnarled trees and overgrown hedges. It looks abandoned, forgotten, but a thin wisp of smoke rises from the chimney, and I see movement behind the curtained windows. I knock on the door.

I can’t believe she has done this for me! My heartbeat sped up. This had to be it. Penny had mentioned cottages, and there were pictures of them from the beach. I kept reading. Our cottage is so pretty! It’s bright blue with white shutters and is right on the end of the row. I can hear the water all day and night!

CHAPTER 18: THE COTTAGE SECRET Scene 52: Return Home The cottage lights were on. No smoke rose from the chimney. No car waited beside the broken fence. Still, warm yellow light glowed behind every window as though Grandmother had been expecting us. Rain swept across the cliffs and struck the windscreen in silver sheets.
