Another.
“There will be a path that leads into the wooded area, and that’s where the spa will be located. There will be on-site massages, wellness treatments, and private outdoor mineral baths.”
She takes a breath.
Then immediately starts again.
By the time she’s finished, I feel like I just watched someone describe an entire small Western town because that’s basically what she’s creating.
I glance at Matty.
She’s standing quietly beside her sister, listening and observing. Letting Harleigh run the show and present her vision.
Daddy studies the blueprints carefully. Devon helps him spread them across the hood of the ranch truck.
For the next hour, they discuss lumber quantities, milling schedules, fencing, access roads, and construction phases.
I understand enough to know this project is enormous.
Harleigh really isn’t thinking small.
Daddy tucks copies of everything under his arm. “We’ll get with the contractors.”
Matty nods. “Sounds good.”
“We should have rough estimates for phase one next week.”
Devon grabs a measuring wheel. “Let’s get perimeter numbers.”
The two of them head off toward the property line. Leaving me standing beside Matty and Harleigh.
Harleigh watches them go. “You can see it, right?”
I smile. “Are you kidding me? After that impressive presentation? Oh my God, yes.”
“I know everyone thinks I’m crazy,” she says, cutting her eyes to Matty.
“No, they don’t,” Matty says.
“Yeah, they do.”
Matty smiles. “Maybe a little bit.”
I look around again.
The brook. The trees. The mountains. The endless Wyoming sky.
“I think it’s going to be spectacular. You’re going to give guests a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
I envision families sitting around firepits. Couples walking trails. Kids learning how to fish. People escaping busy lives to unplug and commune with nature. It’s actually kind of perfect.
Harleigh exhales. “That’s the dream.”
Matty wraps an arm around her shoulders. “It’s going to be incredible. Expensive. But incredible.”
Harleigh beams.
Then her attention shifts to me. “What are you doing tonight?”
