Something closer to the home I had in my previous life. What I received, however, is extraordinarily large. Closer to the castle of my birth than a respectable house.
[ And he could live in that huge place alone. He could fill it with things and not be terribly lonely. But he doesn't have to be. ]
Plenty of room for two people of similar habits. [ A faint frown contorts his mouth. ] Possibly three, if I can manage to locate Daniel long enough to make the invitation.
