Chapter 38

Avara POV

We all make our way outside, and Landen grudgingly does the same.

"There are six bedrooms, so you have the pick of the litter," Vance offers.

Kelsey ogles the warm wooden interior, illuminated by natural light.

Landen grabs his things and disappears down a corridor. Vance takes us on a silent house tour, a terrible guide. At this point, Kelsey and I would have more fun exploring this house at our own leisure. The exterior has an amphitheater setting with the lake at the lowest point of the site, mimicking a stage as the outdoor deck. The house design is conceptualized as two separate wings positioned along the contours, connected with an entry veranda that continues through to the lounge to form the deck. From inside the house, windows frame the landscape of the lake and forestry. The two wings have a close connection with the ground, providing easy access to the outside.
