Chapter 49

• MEREDITH:
• Dark blindfolds went over my eyes, with Miles constantly reassuring me that I was safe and that I could trust him. He led me through a soft path into somewhere that smelled like flowers, filled with the chirping of birds. He took off the blindfolds and I instantly went into static mode.
• The entire back garden has been adorned with roses of different colors. On the top of each branch, hanging were colorful birds in cages, giving a spiral form. In the middle was a very large box that had a bow tie made from roses and balloons in red and white.
