To Say I Love You Read Online Free PDF Page A

good-quality secondhand furniture, and I much preferred that to the mass-produced, falls-apart-if-you-exhale-at-it, cheap crap. There was some pride to be taken in buying and restoring, reusing and recycling, rather than ignoring local crafts and getting something generic instead.
    In short, he’d turned me into a gay, interior design stereotype. I found I didn’t care.
    “What do you think?” Will asked as we stood in what would be our bedroom. “The offer hasn’t been finalized yet. If you hate it, say now, because it’ll be ours in a day or so otherwise.”
    “I love it,” I said, turning to him.
    “Then it’s yours,” he said and grinned. I let him pull me into his arms and pressed my face to his shoulder.
    There was more, I could tell, but he needed to let go of the information in his own time, rather than all at once. There was a little diner on the edge of town my dad liked; I gave Will directions, and we settled down with mugs of coffee and burgers on their way.
    “There’s more,” he said as soon as we were comfortable. I smiled to myself and raised an eyebrow, prompting him to continue.
    “Okay.”
    “I spoke to my boss when I was back in Seattle. I’ve been pushing for a promotion for a while, but now more than ever, I really need more flexibility in my job.”
    I knew all of this already and nodded, letting him paint a picture for me.
    “I’ve been made ‘location independent,’” he said, making air quotes around the words.
    “What does that mean?”
    “It means I don’t have a fixed office anymore. I’m not tied to Seattle. I can work anywhere in the country now. Including Atlanta.”
    “So… you’re moving?”
    “Yeah. If it’s all right with you, we’ll live here in the yellow house, and I’ll work from the office in Atlanta two or three days a week. The other days, I’ll work from home.”
    “I… I can’t believe you’ve arranged all this in a few days.”
    He grinned at me, then waited for our burgers to be served before continuing the conversation.
    “This is all dependent on what you want, though,” he said and dunked a fry into his little pot of ketchup. “If you want to move back to Seattle, we’ll do that. I just wanted to give you some options. I know you want to be with your dad at the moment.”
    “Yeah,” I said. “I think we all need to stick together, for now.”
    “I agree. The only thing is, I think I’ll end up staying in a hotel in Atlanta when I’m working there for a few days in a row. I won’t come home every night.”
    “Oh.” I thought on that for a moment. “That’s fine,” I said cautiously.
    “Really?”
    “Yeah… I think so. I mean, it’s a few hours’ drive to get there and back, it makes sense for you to stay there if you can. Did you really get a promotion?”
    Will’s face lit up as he nodded. “It’s good too. That’s how we can afford to own a second house.”
    “So you’re not going to sell our house?”
    He looked at me funny for a moment. “No, baby. We’ll have both. You really thought I’d sell it?”
    “You didn’t say.”
    “It’s our home,” he said, sounding defensive and hurt at the same time. “I would never sell without asking you first. Not even to buy somewhere for you.”
    I reached over the table and squeezed his hand gently. “Thanks. I think I knew that really.”
    He smirked and poked me with a french fry.
    It was our home… but his house. Will had already owned it when we’d met, and I’d never earned enough to be able to share the mortgage. Instead, I paid my way on several bills, and things worked out just fine for us both.
    We’d always planned to grow old together in that house, and even though I was having trouble seeing past the end of the week at the moment, that was still the plan. In my heart, I knew Georgia was a temporary thing. It was good there was no pressure for us to rush home anymore.
    It was late by the time we got back to my parents’ house, and I made sure to
