In this life

Epilogue

I pulled up outside a very grand looking house. There were large iron gates that opened as I approached. I drove up the driveway and parked beside a fountain in the centre. Whoever this guy was, he had money. I couldn't believe my luck when he'd contacted me, looking for an architect to discuss plans for expanding his property.
I knocked at the door and looked over the front of the house as I waited. I was wondering if I knew another architect that had worked on this project, the whole building seemed very familiar but, I was sure I'd never been here before.
The front door opened.
"Ah hello, thank you for coming" he held his hand out to shake mine, "Adam Goodwin" he introduced himself "please, come in" he opened the door wider and gestured for me to enter.
"Thanks" I stepped inside.
Adam started to show me through the house, talking about his renovation ideas, leading the way to the dining room. He put some very old looking plans on the dining table.
"So, I'm thinking of extending the rear of the property...-" he started.
There was knock at the front door. "That'll be my interior designer" Adam explained, "I thought I'd invite you both round together, I would like for you to meet her", he excused himself and went to answer the door. I looked over the plans quickly while I waited.
Adam returned with a lady following behind.
"Please come through" he spoke to her kindly.
She followed him in.
"This is my architect" Adam started to introduce us. She looked over to me. As we made eye contact my breath caught in my throat. She was stunning. Her long silky hair draped down her shoulders in loose curls. Her big dark eyes were mesmerising. From the moment I saw her I was drawn to her. She was a complete stranger, yet the look in her eyes pulled me in to a familiar place that felt like home. A place of passion and of love. I felt a kind of heat rise through my body making my heart race.
I wanted to play it cool so I casually took a step closer to her and held out my hand, as she reached hers out to meet mine, I turned it slightly, kissing her softly on her knuckles, my focus fixed on hers.
"Pleased to meet you, I'm Danny"
"The pleasure is all mine" she breathed and bit her bottom lip shyly.
"Well..." Adam spoke, breaking the tension, with a huge grin on his face, "it's so good to see you two together again"
We both looked at him confused and glanced back to each other again.
"Sorry?" I questioned his words.
"All in good time, my friends..." He nodded to himself, "All in good time..."
