The House Across The Lake 소설 & 이야기

The lake house had been Simon's suggestion, oddly enough — a property his family had owned for two generations, sitting quiet and unassuming at the end of a gravel road three hours north of the city, the kind of place that smelled like pine needles and old wood smoke the moment you stepped through the door.

I called to him, trying to stay still on the floor. “Mister Thatcher has the house ready; just follow us down the river, and quickly! They bought out the lake for a few hours and have this labeled as a ‘movie shoot’ for a film.” Beta Daniel pointed ahead, marking our path as his boat sped up by his driver; leading our way.

I'd rather visit the jungle than go to her house, knowing Jack will be there. "Don't worry about the dinner I made. I will send it over to the hospital. Let's bond with our new neighbors, honey," my mom said, her hands all over my shoulders. "You can go with them, I need to study," I muttered, finding a way to ditch having dinner with them. I wasn't ready to face Jack again. I'm still finding it difficult to digest the fact that he lives next door to me. "You can always study later." "Mom," I groaned.

I whisper. “I know. I mean, the old land was amazing, but I looked at the pictures. There are lakes, waterfalls, and so much forest and so on. And here there is a lake dedicated in the moon-goddess name, the moon lake.” He tells me as the car stops, not in front of the castle but a house in the small group of houses nearby. It is a beautiful big white house on two floors with big floor-to-loft windows—a garden with flowers, trees, and a pond.

The few houses scattered around me are quiet. I can hear my own heartbeat pounding in my ears, a thrumming reminder of what I am doing. The danger behind it. I wasn't scared of the Lycans. I was more scared of what would happen if my dad found out about this. I had no idea how long we could keep everything hidden. I crossed the road, and took the familiar route to the big house at the far end of the street. With my feet shaking, I took the stairs and walked over to the big sitting room Jane had taken me to the other day.

I came out of my thoughts, grabbing my bags and running a bit until I reached her. "We arrived!" Mom exclaimed, dropping the suitcases to the ground. It was a large beautiful house, but it wasn't the house that caught my eye. In front of the house. There was a huge lake. The big round moon was in the sky, lighting up the lake. Its shadow fell on the water, creating a golden reflection. This looked so ... Beautiful. I walked to the little dock by the lake, looking at the moon's reflection. I saw my own reflection too, hanging beside the moon.

She circled an empty space next to the drawing. Jackie had to laugh. "A spa? Here at Lake Miranda?" "Is there already a spa near here?" Amy asked, her excitement wavering slightly. "Of course not. It's the boondocks." "Good!" Amy smiled. "People will come from miles around." Jackie shook her head. "I don't know, Amy." She peered closely at the next sketch in the notebook. "What's this?" "This," Amy circled the drawing with her finger, "is a new house for Blake and me. Overlooking the lake like it does, we definitely need windows that go all the way up to the vaulted ceiling in the living room, don't you think?"

She laughed as she turned up the radio After about fifteen minutes we pulled into a long driveway near the lake my family had gone to a few times when I was a kid. The house at the end of the drive was absolutely gorgeous and directly on the water. It was modern with dark wood and slate covering the outside and bay windows giving us a peek inside. "Oh my god this is such a beautiful lake house." I mumbled out still taking in the beauty of the place She grinned over at me "I'm glad you like it, it's ours until tomorrow at five."
