Malcolm’s P.O.V

It’s the first faint trickles of early morning sunshine that wake me, coaxing me to open my eyes as it brings light into the large master bedroom.

I smile as I look outside the large windows at the outstretched lands that surrounded us for miles, leaving Aias and me alone as we’d wanted for our impromptu getaway.

Aias hadn’t been fond of coming to the castle. For some reason, he always grumbled about us coming to the land in Italy Lincoln had gifted me two Christmas ago, but nevertheless, he would enjoy it once we got here.

There were little things about the hidden land that made it perfect.

Despite Lincoln’s claims that he’d made adjustments to the property for me, like the heat-reflecting glass that allowed me to bask in the sunlight without the heat of it, there were parts of it that I could tell was meant for Aias’ enjoyment.

The stream that passed through the land a short distance from the main property would’ve been ignored if it were only me, but Aias flourished there as he did in the empty fields he loved.
