"Oh, it's beautiful" Madison exclaimed in awe, looking at the moderate two story cabin house. 

"If you think the front's beautiful, you should check out the back of the house" I smiled at her, pulling our luggage out of the car. 

She glanced at me "Is it pretty?" 

I grinned at her "It's gorgeous" 

Markos giggled and clapped his hands loudly. 

My grin widened and I booped his nose before carrying our luggage up the stairs. 

"I've never seen him this excited" Madi said, gazing down at her son with a fond smile on her face. 

I smiled at her and unlocked the door, quickly ushering her inside before I gathered the rest of our luggage and deposit it neatly in the living room. 

"Okay, I take it back" Madi said in astonishment "This place is absolutely amazing!" 

I laughed "I'm glad you like it" 

"And look at that view!" She exclaimed, gazing outside through the glass sliding door windows. 

I leaned against the living room frame and followed her gaze "It's much better since we fixed the deck" 

She looked at me in surprise "You did that?" 

I nodded "Mr. Young, Rhys, and I worked on this deck and the gazebo all last summer" 

"You did the gazebo too?" 

I nodded 

"Whose idea was to put it on the water?" 

I grinned at her "Mine" 

"I knew it!" she smiled back. 

"How'd you know?" 

"Because it screams 'Ares" She smiled "Only you would want a deck on the water" 

"It's beautiful" I defended, smiling at her "Not to mention practical during the fishing season" 

She rolled her eyes "Down boy,it was just an observation"

I laughed and nodded towards the kitchen "Did you have a chance to check out the kitchen yet?" 

"No" she said "Why?" 

"Because I think I finally found your dream kitchen"
