Chapter 0293 Colt and Penny’s story. Penny’s POV “How are things going in here?” Colt walked into our office. Since we renovated the entire packhouse, itwas more light and welcoming. Lightly stained hard wood floors went beautifully with the white.distressed accent furniture pieces. However, my favorite part of our office was our desks. We each hadour own area. Knocking down the wall, we took out a spare bedroom and really opened it up. Per my request, Colt put in a floor to ceilingglass wall that let in all the natural lighting I could ask for. Currently, I was staring at different paintings and trying to figure out which ones I wanted to hang. SinceKris had everything in the storage shed moved back a week ago, her and Colt have split most of it all.She obviously kept the jewelry but she graciously shared their mother’s paintings/drawings with him.
“I think we should put this beautiful charcoal drawing of this wolf head behind your desk. I love this oneof the owl. That one should be behind mine.” His desk was in the original place his father’s desk wasand mine is where the bed used to be. Each of us have large matching rugs and a joinedseating/relaxing area. Taking out the bedroom door, there is only one entrance. However, we did put ina built-in collapsable wall so if I needed privacy for any reason, I would have it. “Okay.” Colt nodded and leaned against my desk. “You don’t honestly care do you?” It was both annoying and welcoming. I wanted him to have an inputbut I just wanted his opinion to match mine. Truthfully, I was a little stubborn when it 1/3 anything at all and the rest was my creative freedom. Never once did she redistrict my creativeprocess. However, Colt was my mate and I wanted a different relationship with him when it came to thisstuff. “I care, I just don’t really know where it should go and you are so good with it all. Whatever you think itbest.” He looked out the window like
his mind wasn’t even focused on this. “I can feel your anxiety. What is going on?” Usually, Colt only felt this way when it came to a topic heknew I wasn’t going to like. “Your…. Cassie is ready to be discharged from the hospital.” My b*dy froze. I knew this was coming but I haven’t visited her since I met her the first time. I knew I told her I would come back but it hasn’t happened. More than once, I walked to the hospital and turned around. I wasn’t sure what wasstopping me. Something just held me back from going in. The staff saw me on more than one occasion.Thankfully, they just nodded in understanding when I turned away. Never once trying to get me to comein. Images of her laying in the hospital flashed before my eyes. She looked broken. Bandages coveredwhat little of her neck that was sticking out and bruises covered her arms. Zac looked dangerous and not someone I was comfortablearound. Even though I wasn’t as good as friends with Ace as Colt was, I was still finding it hard toforgive him. “Oh?” I wasn’t sure what else to say. Picking up the owl drawing, I held it up against my freshly creamcolored walls. The darkness of the owl really looked good against it “I need to know what you want. Do you want them on the other side of the packhouse or next to us?”Colt said in a soft tone. “When will the house be done?” I asked, not sure how close I wantednovelbin
