Haven

Chapter Ten

Isabella and the Sun held numerous similarities.

They were beautiful.

They were eye-catching by simply being.

They were bright.

And if you stare at them for too long, the result will hurt.

As they spent more time together, Andrew felt torn.

He loved his wife.

He loved her more than he thought to be possible.

He also loved his wife.

He wanted to be with his wife.

It wasn't consuming his mind. It only made being near her difficult.

He loved her.

He wasn't going to push her away because his feelings were slowly overwhelming him.

He would just.

He didn't know what to do.

"Andrew!" Isabella screamed from the kitchen.

He closed his Bible and hurried to find her.

"Get that out!" She pointed sharply at a tiny spider on the counter.

Her skin was crawling. She was horrified of small insects.

Andrew smacked the spider with his palm and washed his hands.

Isabella's eyes widened at his brave actions.

It was attractive.

Andrew was all man.

Her man.

She loved him for many reasons.

But seeing him kill the spider for her made her heart flutter.

"Thank you," She beamed and kissed his cheek. "You're so brave," She felt like a giddy girl.

Andrew took her by the waist and held her. "I love you, Bella."

He made her feel warm.

She always felt his hands long after they were apart.

Which wasn't often.

She loved being with him.

"I've got a surprise for you." He told her.

Isabella squeezed him tightly with her head on his chest. "Really?"

She felt his soft lips touch her forehead. "Really."

Andrew went to town while Isabella rested this afternoon.

It was the only time he could get away.

If she were awake, they would've gone together, and the surprise would have been ruined.

"Okay! I'm excited," Isabella buzzed while listening to his heartbeat.
