“No stairs, yes!” Bells muffled voice came from the front of the tree she was pushing through the doorway.

I was going to have to rearrange the whole room.

What had I been thinking?

I scrambled forward and pushed the couch out of the way for them and they managed to get her upright.

Bells backed up and put her hands on her hips. “Crooked as a Grinch cartoon tree.”

Kane sighed and started cutting the branches free from the ropes binding the branches. “Give it a minute.”

“Trust me.” She folded her arms.

I shoved the other couch beside the first one then stood next to Bells. “Wow.” I tipped my head. “Definitely crooked.”

“See?”

Kane gave her a bland look then lowered to the floor, rolling under the sweeping boughs.

More squabbling ensued as she shouted directions and there was an increasing level of growls from under the tree.

It seemed perfectly straight to me. Gorgeous shape now that it was actually in the cabin and was worth every single penny I'd invested in it.

I glanced at Bells, who wore a little smirk.

"That good?" Kane grunted.

"A little more to the left." She glanced at me and waggled her eyebrows.

"If I go any more left, it's going out the window,kaimoni." He peeked out from under the tree and grumbled. "You think you're funny."

"I do." She crouched and scrunched her nose at him. "It's good."

"And we have five more deliveries today," he grumbled.

"Yup!" She wiggled a little and her bell jingled. "Can't wait." She straightened. "Now we'll help you move the furniture."

"Oh, you don't need to do that."

Kane brushed off his gloves and looked down at the pile of needles he'd shaken free. "Sorry about that."

"No problem. I'm sure there's a vacuum around here somewhere."

"Oh, this isn't your place?" Bells looked around at all the decorations.

"My family is coming in. We kinda live all over these days. I wanted to make it special."

Bells gave me a soft smile. "That's really nice." She glanced at Kane. "We have to help her."

He crushed her against the side of him and kissed her forehead. "Of course." Over her head, he met my gaze. "Whatever you need."

"I'm fine, really." My gaze drifted to the couches I'd pushed around like toys in a Barbie Dream Home. "Well, maybe if you don't mind."

"Thought so."

As he flexed his bicep, Bells pushed him away."Stop showing off."

I didn't want to keep them forever, but Bells had ideas about where the couches should be in relation to the fireplace, anyway. I had a feeling Bells had opinions on a lot of things, based on Kane's indulgent shake of his head every time she changed her mind.
