Ilari guides blindfolded Venla from the car. She can hear grovel underneath her shoes, sound of keys, door opening and Ilari's hand on the small of her back pushing gently.
- Patience, Ilari hush her. - Soon.
- Why I can't look?
- It's suprise. That's why.
Venla hmmps but feels excited at the same time. She wanted to see the house but fell into sleep little after the car left. Ilari woke her up near the place, put the blindfold on and drove on.
- Ok. We are inside now. You can take it off.
Venla takes a moment to take on her surroundings. She looks at door on her side and gentle light coming from hall window.
- What's there? She points to long beautiful staircase ahead of them.
- You need to go there and see for yourself.
Venla looks up, takes some steps up and looks at Ilari. He nods.
- Say something? Ilari gets little impatient after a while. Venla just stares around completely muted. She walks to painted double glass doors, peeks inside to another room. She whispers something Ilari can’t hear.
– Come again, Sweetie?
Venla covers her mouth and draws a long breath.
– It’s just like you described it, she says so quietly it’s hard to hear. – It’s beautiful.
- Go on? Ilari urges Venla to go the kitchen. – You need to see this.
– Is that…? Venla swallows rest of the sentence in awe. There's a door leading outside.
– Inside greenhouse? Or winter garden or whatever you want to call it. Ilari scrathes his ear.
- OMG! Venla exclaimes, opens the door and walks in. - It’s huge!
She rushes in, takes few deep breaths.
- There could be herbs, plants, flowers that are too climate sensitive to be outside. Her eyes start to shine. – Tomatoes, chilis, parsley would love to be there. Mint and sage needs to be put into their own pots or they spread too much… her voice trails off again and Ilari sees she’s full on planning. He has to concentrate to hide his grin. It’s working. This is too big temptation for Venla to decline.
