The spare room was simple, a double bed made up against one wall, a wardrobe built into the wall opposite the bed. Natural light spilt through a large window which offered a spectacular view of the veggie garden and the deep forest behind it.
She loved it right away.
She left her things there, at the foot of the bed and followed Kyra back into the lounge room, where Edgy had just walked through the front door. Keira jumped up from the couch and threw her arms around him, pressing her lips to his.

"Yeah," he reassured her. "But we have to order in some parts, which might take a while to get here."
"Oh."
"You can stay here as long as you need to," Kyra reminded her, and she smiled at him gratefully.

Stupid bloody cars.
