"Here we are," Veer said as he pulled into the driveway. I smiled internally as I looked at the numerous cars being parked into the garage. I bet his garage looks like a dealership of high-end Motor vehicle brand.

While I was musing to myself, Veer had gotten off the car and made his way to my side. Like a gentleman, he opened my side of the car door and offered his hand.

"Shall we, my lady?" He said with a smirk. Mirth glinting in his eyes.

"Yes, my lord," I giggled placing my hand in his. He effortlessly pulled me up and shut the car door behind me. A valet appeared beside Veer. Just as he was about to hand the keys to the valet, I got my first look of his home and-

Added to the original beauty was the fact that the home was wrapped in fairy lights. It was still bright out here but when dusk falls, I am sure the house would be a treat for the eyes.

"Really? That's nice. I bet the interior is just as beautiful," I remarked as I admired the flowers that lined the broad pathway.

"It is" Veer said as we walked towards the backyard.

There were children rushing about and some people taking walks on the pathway along us. At the end of the path there was an archway decorated with all kinds of flowers.
