“You look like a kid on Christmas morning.”
Savannah laughed. “That’s pretty much what I feel like too.” She made more notes and said, “I can tell you right now that specialized cost-estimating and planning software would help budget time and money far more efficiently than what we have now.”
“What do you have now?”
She tapped an icon on her tablet and turned it around to show Harlan the calculator app. “This. And me.”
“Okay. I suppose you’ve already researched the programs?” He shook his head. “Of course you have. Just make sure it’s comprehensive enough to grow as we do.”
Savannah made notes and said, “I can price several options for you. There’s also a software program that helps determine the best way to get materials to building sites. That would be really helpful too.”
“Sounds good. How long do you think you’ll need to come up with this plan?”
Tomorrow, she wanted to say. But she knew it would be wiser to take her time. They’d waited this long, after all. “How about Friday morning?” That would give her the remainder of the week.
“Are you sure you don’t need more time? I was really just asking for a ballpark at this point.”
“Yes, that will give me plenty of time.”
“Especially because you’ve been thinking about it for a long time now,” he said shrewdly.
Savannah smiled. “I can’t help it. I’m kind of a geek where computers and software for construction are concerned.” She thought about that a minute and added, “Who am I kidding? I like software period. I’m a total geek.”
Harlan laughed. “A geek isn’t the first thing I’d think when I look at you.”
“Ah, but looks can be deceiving.”
“True.”
Savannah got up. “I’ll start now unless there’s something else you need?”
“Not right now. I’m going to the airfield and then I’m meeting Elijah and Logan at the winery site. I think now would be a great time to get that new software.”
“Thank you. You won’t regret it, I promise. This should make everything run smoother.” And she was going to be in geek heaven.
