How are things going on the farm, farmer? As I climb into bed next to Rory, I ask the question. Since he began cleaning up the farm, preparing meals, and then amusing his family, he hasn't taken a break all day. However, it appears that he likes it better that way.As he rests on his back, gazing at the ceiling, I can't help but wonder what thoughts are going through his head.Before answering, he draws in a long, exhaustion-filled breath. "I just can't wrap my head around the fact that she's no longer here," she said.I slowly move my hand down his naked chest as I bend to the side of my chair to get closer to him. "At the moment, I don't think it will, but how do you feel about tomorrow?"He adopts the same stance as me and leans on his side with his back to me. "It means a lot to me that you have come here, Darcy, and I'm dreading it, but I'm delighted you're going to be there," Elizabeth said to Darcy."It's a shame it couldn't have been under different circumstances because I've

We mainly just laze about; I don't want to drive home, but I have certain things I need to take care of tomorrow at work that I need to accomplish in person. I find it difficult to leave Rory once more, and I detest the idea of doing so. Even though he has informed me he would be back in less than a week, the thought that he may never return to Manchester terrifies me.I chat to Rory while Lucas is dozing off because I am on the final portion of the journey, and I am so afraid of missing his face that it is terrifying. Just don't blow hot and cold once more, please. My wounded heart can't take much more sorrow, and I don't think I can handle any more turmoil in this relationship.My time with Rory feels so far away now that I've been back at work for almost a week. Even though we have had nightly video conversations, I still feel the urge to touch him. Kiss his soft lips and run my fingers through his short hair. He still doesn't have that sparkle in his eyes, and he admitted that he

Rory has come around and will be going with Lucas and me to the party. Rory enters like the shining knight he is while I'm stressed out. He collects the cake and celebration bags and packs them into the car. Then he managed to persuade Lucas to put on his new shoes, which I had just argued about for twenty minutes because he said they were too tight.Are you sincere?"I inquire as he encircles me from behind.He giggles, "As real as they come, baby." He's now beginning to get comfortable and find his spot. Despite being concerned and under pressure because the farm hasn't sold yet, he is doing okay. After work, he must continue to oversee the books and everything, which means he must do it in his leisure time. I dislike that he is constantly busy, but I suppose that is how he is; he always seems to find things to do. When the farm is sold, he plans to acquire a house that needs a lot of work done, relieving him of the burden of running a farm. I don't know if he has ADHD or something,

After nine months, the farm has sold, and Rory is finally relieved of the stress and anxiety associated with it. He received the keys to his new home today. He chose the dilapidated, untidy home that he intends to renovate for the next ten years so that it may be lived in.He yells up the stairs, "Come on, Darcy, hurry up. I can't wait to see it." I have never seen him so impatient as I get ready. His dream seems like a complete waste to me, so it's hard for me to maintain the same enthusiasm for it.Before pulling onto the property, he exits the main road and continues driving for almost five minutes. He clearly sees something I don't because it is just as horrible as I had anticipated. Look at this, he exclaims as he stops in front of the yellow stone structure with some interesting original elements. In particular, I find that it has the most incredible sash windows. It is completely watertight, has power, and is fed with water from a nearby stream, but gas needs to be connected.D

We leave the restaurant and head to the local watering hole. By the time we sit down, the place is packed, and there are no available tables. Kiran is with Di, and I can't help but notice his glares; they're making me extremely uneasy and, judging by the furious expression on her face, I suppose Di has noticed as well. What's up? How are you doing? I inquire of Rory, who is still hushing up a bit.What about you?" Really, was that a huge surprise to you or what?"I know," I mutter, pouting my lip. "How can she not see that he's a dick?"Eventually, she'll learn that guys like that always fail. The combination of Kiran's intense gaze and embrace makes me very vulnerable, so I brush off Rory's advances. He notices and gives me a suspicious look; I lean in close to explain. I mutter, "It just feels odd with him watching." Rory looks at Kiran and decides to approach him.'Hey Kiran, are we all right?' The question comes from his lips. Rory isn't swayed by Kiran's nod of agreement, even th
