CHAPTER 39.

  Vanessa was smiling brightly as I walked down to meet her in the foyer.

  She was standing with Mikayla and Steph, and neither of them looked very happy.

  When I got closer, the girls left and I watched as they walked away.

  Vanessa looked warily between me and them.

  ”What was that all about?” She asked with a giggle.

  ”Nothing, I mean, I have no idea,” I said and looked as confused as she did which seemed to have sold it.

  We walked through the woods, out on a little path, and past several houses before we made it to a cute little yellow cottage.

  It had two big windows in the front, it was a one-level house with a porch.

  I smiled as I walked up the stairs to the front door.

  It was the cutest little house I had ever seen with flowers in their colorful pots greeting you by the door.

  I looked to my side and saw Vanessa with her head lowered, awkwardly patting her arm.

  ”Are you okay?” I asked her.
