I ran out of likes!! What an awesome story. I have this theory about the house we live in, i love it but everytime we start talking about moving or maybe building a new house and diving the property, 'something' happens to make us fall in love all over again with it. I know it's weird but I really believe that land and buildings can have a soul of their own.
The property was looking out for them What a beautiful story. My only complaint is how you skimmed over start of their relationship, I would have liked to have seen more, but it was still very enjoyable. You are such a wonderful writer Mr. Bill, hats off to you!!
