The week had already felt incredibly long, the two of them doing their best to work through their fight and focus on the future that they were building. There was a distinct shift between them now, tense more often than not, but they were still ultimately the same- completely and madly in love, which was the most important thing.

When Roger whisked her away that afternoon Lavender really wasn't sure what to expect, realizing that he must have had something clever up his sleeve for her. But when they arrived on the grounds of an expansive manor she was more than just slightly confused.

"That's the house we're looking at?" she asked, her eyebrows pulled upward as her jaw dropped. Lavender had to laugh- it was absolutely ridiculous.

"That would be it, yes," Roger nodded. For a few seconds, he managed to keep a straight face. Breaking after a few moments, he snorted and laughed with her.

"What did you tell her?" she asked him through a fit of giggles, her face all scrunched up as she looked at him.

Lavender could get lost in there-

For days.

"Not much, really?" Thinking back, Roger realized he hadn't actually given her much to go on.

"I said something about a yard," he nodded, sure that had been there. "More than three bedroom." Check, he'd made sure of that. Had there been anything else?"

He shrugged as he took in the place. Not only was it huge, it was old - bordering on historic. Maybe he should have mentioned modern.

"Then I gave her a budget."
