Unbearable Tension

Gideon's P.O.V.

I never expected that I would enjoy having someone at my home. Specifically, I made a point of keeping people away from my house. But each day that she showed up and worked alongside me, the more I wanted to keep her here.

She never once pushed me to go inside. Vivienne simply helped me stock up on firewood and assisted in caring for the garden and pulling the ripe vegetables.
