Lynx: A Callie Torres Story

31

Jada followed Callie around her house as she showed Jada around. "It's amazing Callie."

They were standing in Callie's bedroom that Jada hoped to call her own as well. The master bathroom was much bigger than the previous one, making room for an entire closet in the bathroom as well as a very spacious bathtub. There was another large walk-in closet in the bedroom across from where the bed was. And to the left of the bed were the windows that overlooked the entire city of Seattle.

There were a few more guest bedrooms upstairs. Jada followed Callie down the spiral staircase and back into the kitchen. The kitchen was beautiful. All stainless steel appliances and very expensive granite countertops. A wall with a flowing waterfall behind glass separated the kitchen from living room. Down the hallway from the living room was another bathroom as well as two more spare rooms, one of which was already set up as Callie's office.

"What's this room for?" Jada asked, gesturing to the two closed glass doors at the end of the hallway.

"For you," Callie answered softly. "Your office."

Jada opened one of the heavy doors. The room was temporarily filled with boxes covering the hardwood floor. It was so much bigger than her previous office. "You'll have room for everything in here."

"Am I moving in with you?"

"Where else would you go?" Callie asked.

"I could find an apartment or something," Jada said. "I wasn't sure how fast we were doing this or-"

Callie interrupted her. "If you're here to stay, I want you here with me."

"I want to be here with you too."

She was taken by surprise when Callie pressed a tender and soft kiss to her lips. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you so much too Calliope. And I'm sorry about everything."

Callie pulled her into another embrace. "You're done apologizing, okay? It's in the past. And the two of us are here now. And I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

"Okay."

Jada took Callie's hand and followed her down the hallway and through the kitchen to the garage where they went out the back door into the backyard. The backyard was fenced in and it also contained an inground pool and hot tub. The pool and hot tub were surrounded by patio which wrapped around the entire back of the house and stopping at the back door of the garage.

"I was thinking we could get a dog," Callie said.

Jada looked up at her. "I would love to. What kind of dog would you want?"

Callie shrugged. "I'm not sure yet, but I think I want to rescue. Will Goose be okay with a dog?"

"He should be. He's been to my moms before, and that's actually where he is now. But she has a dog."

Jada followed her back into the garage. "There's going to be plenty of room for the Subaru," she teased. "When you bring her up here."

She snuggled into Callie and giggled. "That Subie and I have been through everything. Of course she's not going to be sitting outside."
