Plus-size Perfect

Chapter 6

Eva is almost near the MacKensie estate and she is still thinking about Torin's words of last night. What did he mean, I have power over the young guys, and that includes him. How can I have any power over him? I would have loved to have power over him. Also, the words in the diary, 'Love Torin Mackensie', keeps on swirling in her head. As she turns into the estate, she looks at everything around her. It is so beautiful, especially the gardens surrounding the big manor. At Morgan's manor, she stops and immediately there is staff to take her bags and help her out. Morgan is waiting and the maid takes her straight to the parlour. "Welcome Evanora, I made sure yer room is ready and after we had tea ye can refresh yerself. Lady Isla will be here in a few minutes tae hav tea with us." She hugs her Sister and kisses her cheek. "Hello Morgan thenks for having me for the week. I hav a lot of things tae dae and sort out." Just then, Isla enters. "Morning Mother, glad ye could make it." She kisses Morgan on the cheek. "Morning my Dear, thenk ye for inviting me tae tea." Then she turns to Eva and to Morgan's astonishment, she hugs Eva and kisses both her cheeks. "Welcome Darling Eva, I'm so glad ye are here safely. I hope that it was nae a very bad drive. Ye look wonderful. It looks like the clinic did ye good." Eva laughs and shocks Morgan when she hugs her back and kisses the older Isla's cheek. "Hullo Isla, thenk ye, aye it wasnae such a bad drive. I quite enjoyed the scenery and the quietness. It gave me time to think aboot the past year and what I achieved thus far." Morgan asks about their parents and Mira. She cannot believe Mira just took of overseas to follow her dreams. Isla looks at Eva and winks. She swears Isla knows about Mira and Seth. She does not say anything just smiles while Isla and Morgan chat. "Well Morgan dear, I personally must say, I think it is aboot time for Mira tae follow her heart." After tea Morgan leaves to visit a friend, and Eva go to her room to freshen up, and then meet Isla at the smaller Dower manor, to discuss the properties that Isla has on the list. "Cam Darling Eva, we sit in my study. I have a few apartments and cottages since ye said even a small cottage will be fine. There is one particular cottage that I think ye will love. Here ar photos of all the apartments and the cottages. Ye can choose from the photos which ones ye want tae visit or we can dae them all. I have all the time in the world and I dinnae mind gaun with ye as long as ye drive. I hate driving." Eva wants to see two particular apartments and three cottages, and they immediately take a trip to see where her campus is and where every apartment and cottage is. Late afternoon they visit the last cottage on an estate with the name Castle Thorn. This is where the third cottage is, and also the one that Isla said Eva would love. At the impressive stone gates, she already falls in love with the place and the rose gardens that she can see as she drives past. They can see the big stone manor that rather looks like a castle.
