"Listen, sweetie. I have to go. I'm last to tee off. Your father's booked Lucky Break Construction. You know the one?"
Without giving me time to confirm either way, she presses on. "Yes, yes. The company, young Ethan Hunter from Eagle's Nest, started up. Better go, the girls are getting itchy. Love you."
And with that she's gone, leaving me to wonder what sort of renovation she and my dad have decided on. They've discussed everything over the years. From touching up the paint and replacing the windows, to demolition and starting over.
I sure hope it's not the latter. Apart from loving the ramshackle nature of the place, it would involve me moving out. I can't handle this on top of everything else.
A quick call to my dad allays some of my fears. Updating the kitchen and opening the house to the garden I can live with. It won't be fun, but if I shut myself in the front bedroom that I've set up as my office and wear my noise-canceling headphones, I should be okay.
I'm thinking this right until I see two trucks pull up outside the following day. Nothing exciting there. However, when two of the hottest men I've seen outside of a photo shoot clamber out of the vehicles, I have to wonder.
While both men are gorgeous, it's the slightly shorter man who catches my eye. There's something about him that has my mind crowded with hammering, and it's got nothing to do with construction.
