Eve loved her mother but there were times she did not<i>like</i>her.  If her mother was on her deathbed,Eve supposed that might be different, though she was not certain about it.  Either way, the sadness in his eyes when he mentioned his father made her desperately want to make him feel better about things.<br/><br/>“I was going to say somewhere warm and far away from any family drama, but I think a secluded cabin away from civilization would be able to tick enough boxes for me.”  Eve reached over and touched his hand, squeezing it.  “So let’s go to that cabin. We can figure it out and go once our lives here are settled.”  That could easily be weeks or months, but she liked the idea of having something to look forward to that was separate from their current situation.  A week away from her mother and sister sounded like heaven at this point.<br/><br/>“I think everything else is coming together nicely for the ceremony on Saturday.

You’re welcome to stay here the rest of the night, to get to know the place.”
