"When can I take this stupid blindfold off?" I said frustratedly as Mattheo continued to drive. His hand found my thigh and he squeezed it gently.
"Be patient, darling," he laughed. "I've got one more surprise for you."
"Haven't you done enough for me?" I said. We were unfortunately back in England. I knew that for a fact, but Mattheo was quick to put a blindfold on me so I couldn't see where about we were. The car began to slow and I could tell we were driving over stones by the vibration rippling through the vehicle.
It came to a halt and I heard Mattheo's door open. Soon enough he was by my side, helping me out of the car. "Okay, hold onto me," he gave me his arm as he steered me cautiously towards where he wanted me.
"Should I be scared?"
"No," he said. "It's a good surprise... I think."
"Think?" I was very nervous now.
"Okay, ready?"
"I think so," I said, unsure. With a swish of his wand, the blindfold fell from my eyes and onto the stoney driveway. I blinked a few times, taking in what was in front of me. "I-" I didn't know what to say. Looming over me with its tall grey bricks was none other than Riddle House. "Riddle House?" I said in shock, staring as wisteria climbed its way up the house.
"Nope," Mattheo was gleaming. He took my hand running to the front door. "Read it," he said pointing at the House name that was postered next to the door.
RomeroManor. "You changed it?!"
"We're the Romero's now." He held my hands tightly, I felt a tear slip from my eye. "I want this to be our home."
"This is amazing, Mattheo," I said with a smile. I turned to take in the house again. It seemed surreal. Suddenly I was hit with a wave of nausea. The last time I was here, his father tried to turn me into a death eater. I pulled away from Mattheo, stumbling back a bit. He knew exactly what I was thinking.
"I know, darling." He said immediately. "This house holds pain, lots of it... believe me, I know." He took my hands in his again, I looked up through teary eyes, meeting his. "But with you, I want to change that. Bring good into the house. Start a family. All remanences of my father have been destroyed, I made sure of it."
"Oh baby," I took his face in my hand. He turned to kiss my thumb. "I'd love nothing more," I said honestly.
"Come on," he was smiling again. "Let me show you around."
