"I always love mornings. It's such a luxury to get up before everyone else and just doing this at your own pace. It's before the morning rush so it's very quiet." Ellie smiled sheepishly as she continued. "You know I can never spend all my time in a bed recuperating. I would die of boredom. I think it helps with the physical part of returning to my former habits if I try to be as active as I can in restoring what I used to have. I can't really sneak into the gym yet so I woke up early so none of the staff would come around to tell me I need to go back to that room I've been stuck in."

"I did see you from my vantage point above you and when I saw you I wondered what would happen to you if I just left you alone. I shuddered to think of you falling here among something sharp and cutting yourself." Henry looked crestfallen. "I can't imagine you like that again. I think Michael would have me beaten if you were found like that again and I had done nothing. I'm sure too that the gardener would have a fit if you damaged the prize winning tulips."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"So instead of coming to make sure I was all right, you came to see if I was messing up the flowers." Ellie's eyebrow was raised even though her voice was close to laughter. "You are such a wonderful example of good hosting."

Henry's cheeks tightened into a blush as he tried to look away and at the path up ahead. "I should know those things as it's my house. But honestly, I haven't the faintest ideas which ones are those specific tulips. I am a boy who was always mucking about. I don't think it's too much to say I just wanted to make sure that as my guest the trouble would be put to me instead of a lovely lady as yourself."

"You have a good gardener, I'm sure. I doubt he would put the plants somewhere I would or another guest would fall on them. He should be worth his pay grade if he is working for you." Ellie snuck a peek at his eyes and was relieved to see them looking towards her warmly.

He chuckled. "Heimlich is an older member of my staff actually. He was hired because of my mother before her interests changed. He's so old that I would hate to pull him away from his passion which is this garden."

"He sounds like he is really devoted and it's reflected in a spectacular garden." Ellie pointed at all the beautiful greenery that cocooned them in. "I can hardly believe where I am. You know I have to pinch myself to think I'm in the middle of downtown New York City. I don't smell the smog or anything other than these beautiful blossoms. Your landscaper thought well to make the garden this way so we forget that there is a bustling city below it. I'm sure this space is much smaller than I think it is."
