Chapter 42

  Shawn must be here already,he came way earlier than expected , I made my way upstairs quickly and stood in awe at the doorway .

  "it's so beautiful " I gushed out staring at the newly brightly painted room. 

  The designs and arrangements were perfect,  I couldn't wait to hear Hazel's excited squeal of laughter.
