Chapter 622 - Group hug (only sisters) (1/2)

~ Canada, cabin in the mountains ~

Six of them reached the cabin style villa in an all-terrain vehicle which provided them with a smooth ride even over the thick layer of fresh snow.

While looking at the untouched wilderness on the way, no one could tell that within that dense forest, on the side of the mountain is a huge luxury villa.

Downstairs has a kitchen, storage filled with equipment for activities in the snow, large sitting area with open fireplace in the middle, kitchen and dining area. Upstairs are three massive bedroom suites, two spare rooms and two sitting areas which are facing large windows. Everything is open concept, and looks airy and spacious, equipped with conveniences of a modern dwelling. Open railing does not obstruct view to sitting areas on the upper floor from downstairs.

Felix was pleased to see that kitchen and pantry are fully stocked with anything they might need (or what Sophia might need). He added groceries he purchased previously and was already thinking what to make for dinner.

The villa has a hot-air heating system, and fireplace is only for visual enjoyment. Jeff and Felix agreed that an open fire is a must-have when someone is surrounded with snow.

Fireplace looks like round firepit and it has a huge funnel-like contraption hanging above it, which leads smoke and other exausts from fire to the chimney. Jeff and Felix are fiddling around it while discussing how many logs to put in the fireplace before starting it up.

Sophia and JoAnna are relaxing on the sofa and chatting while looking at their men who are taking the fire-starting business with outmost seriousness.

”Is Sarah not going to come down?” JoAnna asked after some time while glancing upstairs toward the bedroom where Sarah and Aiden went as soon as they reached.

”Two of them probably want privacy.” Sophia commented.

”I can understand that… but we all came here to spend time with each other, not to coop up in our rooms. They can have their privacy later.” JoAnna stood up and walked upstairs.

JoAnna banged with her fist on the door few times, showing her impatience.

Door opened abruptly and Sarah stepped out. ”Shhh… take it easy. Did something catch on fire?”

JoAnna was glancing behind Sarah into the room. ”Where is Aiden?”

Sarah noticed that JoAnna didn't call him brother-in-law, which means that she is distancing herself from him. She was not sure how to feel about it. Part of Sarah was happy because JoAnna is doing that to support her, and partially sad because she does not want Aiden to be alienated.

”Sleeping.” Sarah glanced downstairs. ”You are all there?”

”Yes. That is why we came here, right?”, JoAnna snapped.

Sarah took a deep breath and reluctantly closed door behind her. ”You are right. Let's go down.”

”You are not going to wake him up?” JoAnna was referring to Aiden.
