Chapter 27

Ava's POV

'Ava what's wrong? ' Ray's dad asked, lifting his eyes from the newspaper to look at me. I stilled for a moment, before proceeding to take a seat besides my men on the patio.The patio had glass sliding doors that

gave a direct view of the main house living area. The cool gray hue of cement flooring matched perfectly with a built in bench. We sat around the dining table with six chairs that allowed us to enjoy a peaceful meal.

There was a built in fire pit that I assumed was handy during cold weather. A couple of finely sculpted plants added a simple organic touch to this outdoor space.
