I walk into the kitchen and find Eleanor standing at the sink. She turns around and smiles when she sees me.

"Hey Willow! I'm glad you could come over." She said.

"Thanks for the invite! Anything I can help you with?" I ask.

"Yeah, can you grab the cheese? Terry says it never has enough cheese." She laughs.

"Sure thing!" I said opening the fridge and finding the cheese.

"So you and Jace. You know I always knew it would happen." She smiles.

"I've liked him for a long time, Eleanor." I smile.

"Your mother and I knew it when you both were kids." She laughs.

Jace and his dad walked into the kitchen and sit down at the table.

I helped Eleanor get out the soup and cornbread and drinks. We gathered around the table in prayer and then eat.

"Noah is missing out where is he?" Terry asked.

"I guess with his friends or Ben I'm not sure, to be honest," Jace said.

After dinner, I helped Eleanor clean up the kitchen and then we headed out to the truck.

"That was so good I'm stuffed!" I laugh.

"My mom believes in cooking a lot of food. I have a place I want to check out you ok with that?" Jace said.

"Sure what kind of place?"

"Don't be mad ok? But dad has a rental house that he's thinking of selling. The people moved out and I told him I was trying to get you to move back and he said it's yours if you want it. I want to see what it looks like." He said.

"Why would I be mad? That's sweet Jace. I don't mind to look at the place." I said.

"Now I'm not sure if it's clean or not but don't hurt to look I guess." He said.

We pull up and I gasp when I see this house. "Oh my god, Jace! This house is beautiful on the outside at least." I said.

"Yeah, I've never seen it and not sure why. I'd like to live here instead of my apartment." He laughs.

We get out and walk up to the door and Jace unlocks it. We step inside and it's hardwood floors for days.

Jace finds a light and flips it on. It needs to be cleaned up but it's beautiful. I look at Jace and he smiles. "What do you think?" He asks?

"It's beautiful. I mean it needs a deep cleaning but this could work. I could design it up." I smile at him and grab his hand walking into the kitchen.

"Why did the people move?" I ask.

"Not sure dad didn't say. But they hadn't lived here long." He said.

We walk into the living room and look around before walking to the washroom and garage, office, and bathroom downstairs.

"Let's check out the upstairs," I said.

We notice there are three bedrooms upstairs and a bathroom not including the bathroom inside the master bedroom.

"This is really spacious Jace. Will you tell your dad not to rent it?" I ask.

"Does this mean you want to move back here and be with me?" He smiles.

I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss his lips. "It does."

He picks me up and swings me around the room. "I'm so fucking happy Willow!" He laughs.

"After the first of the year, I will go back to California and get my things boxed up and transfer my company to Vermont and come back." I smile.

"I'll work things out with dad so we can rent to own or whatever you want to do and in our spare time we will work on the place and get it cleaned up and ready to move in." He smiles.

"For now just tell your dad ok? I would like to surprise my parents around Christmas about it. They always wanted me to move back." I said as we walk back downstairs.

We lock up and head back to Jace's apartment. "That would be closer to the nursery for you," I said.

"Yeah and Ben would have to drive himself and Noah well dad can pick him up. He will be happy to get the apartment to himself and do whatever he does with friends." Jace laughs.

We walk up to Jace's door and there was a note taped to the door with a rose. "What the hell." He said pulling it off.

He opens it and his face looks angry. "Jace, what is it?" I said as he hands it to me.

Jace, I'll be at the bar tonight come meet me so we can have a good time if you know what I mean. ~Jackie.

"Who does she think she is?" I said balling the paper up in my hand and throwing the rose down outside his apartment.

"Well, when we move she won't know where." He said pulling me close for a kiss.

"I think I'm in the mood for a milkshake Jace," I smirk.

"You are huh?" He grins.

"Let's go to the bar and have a milkshake and a bunch of kisses for Jackie," I said.

"I like your plan. We get in his truck and head over to the bar. He helps me out of the truck and grabs my hand and laces my fingers through his as we walk in.

Ross smiles and Jace told him just a large fry and two shakes. We walk over to our favorite booth and sit down. He slides in first and me on the end.

It wasn't long Ross brought our food and we shared our fries.

"She's looking over here but not moving. Why don't you give me a big kiss." He said.

I scoot over close to him and wrap my arms around his neck and pull his lips down to mine. The kiss was passionate and when his tongue slipped into my mouth I forgot we were at the bar. I sucked on his tongue which tastes like ice cream.

I need to get him back to the apartment quickly and get naked.
