The Secret She Never Knew

The Homestead

Caesy's POV

I exit the plane on to the dock grab my bag and ask him if he is coming or if he is just going to stand around all day like an i***t.  He shook his head and exited the plane to follow me.  We walked in silence up the path to the cabin, when we got there, I opened the door to be greeted by the peace and the darkness of my quiet place.  I reached over flip a switch and dime lights come on to show my house for Sam to see.  He looked around and with mouth open he said, “this is all yours, you really have everything don’t you.”

I smiled at him and said, “yes I have spent a lifetime trying to gather all of this.  I honestly do not think I would give it up for anyone either.  Speaking of what was all that mate talk from that person I did not know.  Better yet who was that man and what was all that talk about me being your queen?”

Sam’s POV

We go over the most beautiful island I have ever seen with the sweetest little cabin I have ever seen.  Doc steps off the plane grabs her bag, but before she does, I see her hands and look really bad.  She asks me if I am coming, I jump out of the plane standing in awe of what I see only to hear her laugh with a sweet smile on her face.  Nodding for me to follow her, I did as she motioned.  She led me up to the house and when she opened the door the most peaceful smell, I have ever smelt hit me like a truck.  I peered into the dark house not worried at all as to what awaited me inside.  She turned on dime lights that softly lit the room.  It too was beyond belief there was a view that seemed never ending out windows that were floor to ceiling.  A huge stone fireplace that ran up on entire wall, with a very open concept there was the master bedroom upstairs that was an overlook bedroom with a wood railing that ran along the whole side.  The only walls were around the bathroom and the spare bedroom.  I would live here for the rest of my life and never find a moment of sadness or despair.   Out the windows you felt like you in the forest you could almost feel the breeze.  There was a wraparound porch that had a balcony that came off the master bedroom.  On the porch there was a burn pit for keeping warm on those cold night and what looked to be the most comfortable furniture I have ever seen.  With a big swing that looked great for reading and relaxing.  I am in awe of what the little doc has set up for herself.  She brings me back to reality asking me 20 questions.  I tell her, “calm down catch your breath little one I will answer all your questions in due time.  I just have one for you first what is your name.”

She looked at Sam and realized he did not even know her name.  These past few weeks we had been together my name had never come up.  I never liked to give anyone my name that way it would be hard for anyone to find me.  I look at him with a small sign and say, “you know I have never told anyone my name.  Or bought anyone to my home.  You are the first guest to ever let step on my island or in my home.  My name has always been on paperwork that I needed and that is how anyone has learned my name.  You will be the first person since I graduated school that will know my name.  My name is Casey Kar I am very pleased to meet you Sam.”

I smiled at the little Dr. and said I am finally glad I get to meet you Casey, but I think I like little doc better and that is the name I think I will stick with if you do not mind.  She smiled at me saying she liked that name better anyways.  We both share a smile that I hope I get to see more now that she is home.

Then I look at her hands and say that we must start treating them they need help.  I ask her where I can get the salve and bandages.  She signs and points me in the right direction of the supplies that I need.
