Her Love Part 2

While I wrote the previous chapter, I couldn't help but cry... I couldn't help it but onto the the story.

I was getting my life back on track, the house we wanted to buy together became available. The realtor called earlier in the week and told me it was ours.

I was pulling up to the driveway when I thought I saw him. I pressed the brake so fast, I turned to see if it was him but it was just my imagination, and nothing else. She told me she had put it in the mailbox, I found it.

I walked inside seeing how empty it was, we were suppose to start moving in after the wedding and slowly make it our home.

I walked all around the house, getting flashbacks of what we were going to put and how we were gonna make it out home. It got to the point where I was sobbing as I walked upstairs to the master room.

I froze in front of the door, this was suppose to our home but now it's only mine. I opened the door and felt my heart break all over again. It was how I always envisioned my master room to be, a huge king size bed in the middle of the room. Two night stands right at the ends, a huge wardrobe with a matching dresser, two doors on both sides. The door next to the wardrobe was the bathroom and the one next to the dresser was the closet.

I opened the door and walked inside, I looked for the switch, when I finally turned it on I couldn't keep the teas at bay anymore. It was a full walk in closet with his and hers side, it was so beautiful. Daniel must have put this in, to surprise me; it was like he left a part of himself in the house. I couldn't be in the closet any longer, I turned to see a note.

Wanted you to have everything you always wanted.
Love Daniel

I wanted to throw away the note, but I just couldn't do it so I left it as it was. I closed the lights and walked to the bathroom taking a breather to catch my breath. I opened it, it was breathtaking, there was a shower and bathtub not to mention a spot to sit in the shower. I walked inside and couldn't help but admire the fact that this was going to be my home now.

I walked up to the sink and watched my face, and cleaned my mouth, the taste of salt was going to be hard to get rid of. I wiped my face and turned to leave when I saw an envelope in the corner with my name on it.

I picked it up, when I looked at it closely it was his initials and handwriting. I opened it up to see the letter addressed to me.

Dear Nora,
I bet you're admiring our new house, I hope I could see the look on your face when you walked through our entire bedroom. I know you said that you didn't care how the house was, and that later on we'll fix it up together but I couldn't do it. I want you to have everything you always wanted in life, least I can do with my inheritance money. (It was sitting in the bank anyway, untouched until you came along.)
You were the first person to truly get to know me when I had money and the first person to love me when I stopped.
Which was why I gave you your dream bedroom, I wanted to fix up the rest of the house but I know you would have killed me, so I left it for US to fix together as one.
I also know that when you see the deed to the house you're gonna get mad but in my defense this was your dream home, and you were mine.
I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives in that house together.
Love from your Husband
Daniel Ryder

P.S There are many more surprises for you over the years.

Towards the end I couldn't the sobbing and tears that were all over my shirt. The minute I folded the paper back up I felt my legs give and I hit the ground. I was a wreck both emotionally and physically, I felt all the emotions back up again. The ones I kept hidden for 6 months, it all came back rushing to me full force.
