~Katherine's POV
We did not leave immediately.
Instead, we stayed.
At first, it was just a few steps here and there, but somehow, it turned into something more. I found myself walking from one room to another slowly, taking everything in properly this time, not just glancing as if I had done earlier when the twins were pulling me in every direction.
"This living room is big," I said, turning slightly as I looked around again, my eyes tracing the walls, the windows, the space.
Aaron stood a little behind me, watching me instead of the house. "You like it?" he asked.
I nodded. "I do," I admitted, and then I moved toward the kitchen, pushing the door open and stepping inside. "And this…" I added, letting my hand run lightly over the counter, "This is even better."
He smiled faintly. "I had a feeling you would say that."
I turned to him, folding my arms lightly. "So you already planned everything."
"I planned enough," he replied calmly.
