I roll the bike forward and shut it off before putting down the kickstand. I pull my helmet off and glance behind me. [color=#B0C4DE]”So?”[/color] I asked Kimiko. I hang the helmet off one of the handlebars and start to pull my gloves off, waiting for Kimiko to get off the back of the motorcycle.

We can move things if we need to when the contractor starts their work,”[/color] I said. My arms automatically wrap around Nero’s waist when they sit on my lap. [color=#006400]”Once the room is ready, we can move your furniture over. I’m sure we can add a couple of pieces to the main portion of the house, this room, our room, and my office if you want,”[/color] I said.

I feel my heart tighten when Nic vows to stay as long as I let him. At this point, I don’t know how long that may be. Would I be able to watch him grow old and die without me? I clear my throat to clear my head and smile at Nic. [color=#DB7093]”We’ll see who gets annoyed with the other first,”[/color] I joked before I removed my hand from Nic’s and opened up my door. I walked up to my shop and opened the door for us. The familiar bell greeted us, and I headed straight to the back to gather the supplies.
