"Where exactly are we going?" I asked him.

Before he could answer, a small cabin appeared. It was in the middle of the forest and hidden from the view of the road, but I realized he was pulling around to park on the side of the building.

He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, his gaze landing on the cabin. Without much thought, I followed him out of the car.

"What is this place?" I asked him as we walked towards the front door.

"I'm not sure," he admitted. "I found it when I was young. I was traveling on my own when I wasn't supposed to. I stumbled upon this cabin and kind of made a second home out of it. I call it my hideout."

His tone was almost playful and reminded me of the Spencer I knew and cared for. I was relieved that he didn't sound cold and indifferent anymore. I think we both needed a little space from the pack, and I was glad to be getting away for a little while. At least until I clear my thoughts and figure out how to approach Gavin again.

He stepped into the cabin, and my jaw nearly dropped; it was gorgeous and nicely decorated, with so many handmade crafts that I knew he did himself because he's always been crafty like that.

Everything was clean, and it smelled like lavender, relaxing me almost immediately upon entry. Spencer seemed to have relaxed as he walked in as well.

"Make yourself at home," he said, the corner of his lips lifting into a small smile. "This place is incredible," I told him.
