But that’s not all.
To one side, half-hidden behind a low wall of blooming shrubs, there’s also a swimming pool!
Its surface is like glass, mirroring the eternal dusk sky. Pale stone lines the edges, and there’s a quiet serenity to it that makes want to dip my toes in right now.
Not far from the pool, a round firepit sits surrounded by curved stone seating. Cozy. Intimate. Perfect for late-night barbecues, roasted fish and chicken, and stories that stretch into the stars.
"And that’s the full tour," Alvero says with a polite bow, a hint of satisfaction in his voice. "If either of you ever want to redecorate, renovate, or add sothing new, just say the word. As Black Sigil holders, the Hearthcarvers Guild offers lifeti customization support... at a very generous discount."
"That’s nice," Eris replies casually, then turns toward with a smile. "What do you think, Felicia? Want to change anything?"
I shake my head without hesitation. "Nope! I’m more than satisfied!"
And I am. More than satisfied. This place feels like a dream.
But then a small frown creeps onto my face as a thought worms its way in.
"Although..." I murmur, glancing around at the massive gothic mansion surrounding us. "...there might be one tiny issue."
Now that I actually stop and think about it...
"Isn’t this house a bit too big?" I glance at Eris, brow raised. "It’s just the two of us. Do we even need this much space?"
Eris doesn’t even hesitate. "I think it’s fine," she says, then shrugs with a grin. "Besides, if Gordon and his family ever visit, we’ll want enough space for them to stay comfortably, right?"
"...Hmmm. That’s true," I mutter, thinking of Gordon’s loud laugh and his adorable daughter. Yeah... it would be nice to have them over.
But before I can say anything more, Eris suddenly leans in closer, so close I feel the warmth of her breath against my ear, and whispers sothing that short-circuits my entire brain.
"Also... I want to prepare a big place for the mini Felicias.
