They had arrived. Miranda drove the car down the short dirt track that led to the front of the cottage. Even in the dark it looked completely idyllic. It was an old stone structure, complete with a thatched roof. It lived up to its name due to the ivy trawling round the frames of the window and door. Plumes of smoke emitted from its chimney, and tiny fairy lights adorned the entrance. It could not have been more inviting.

A two-story log cabin dotted the landscape just west. "Is that your place?" Nate jerked his chin toward the house. "Yes." The foreman unloaded two pine sections from the trailer and surveyed the fence. There was roughly eight feet between posts, with two horizontal boards making up the enclosure itself. "Mae had

After a few minutes, I noticed a cozy-looking cottage a few meters away. The cottage was a single-story structure with a rustic appeal. It was built of stone and wood. It had an intimate feel about it, with a clay-tiled Dutch Gable roof and pivotal round windows. The patio was a basic clement area with a small outdoor fire pit surrounded by two chairs. At the far end of the terrace, a stone oven was installed. A ring of towering trees surrounds the cottage. But it was the large ceiling-to-floor windows and gates that drew me in. I was extremely excited to walk into the homey space. It appeared to be pure bliss.

He laughs again and picks me up bridal style, carrying me out of the room and down the stairs, presumably to this so-called cottage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roman and I have very different definitions of what a cottage is. This looked like a fairy godmother's mansion. It was beautiful, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't a cottage.
