“Not possible,” he said, getting down on his knees again. “You look like a young girl.”
“I’m a forty-seven-year-old girl. Can I get a glass of wine before I’m closed out of the kitchen?”
“Sure. You have plenty of time. But it’s going to go real fast now. After the tile, there’s not much to do. Just the appliances, countertops, baseboards, touch up. Do you still like the new cabinets?”
“Gorgeous,” she said. “What am I going to do with myself in the evenings when you and Beau aren’t here?”
“Oh, I’m sure you have plenty to do without someone making noise and messing up your house.”
She’d have to try to remember. This routine had given her so much comfort that she dreaded the kitchen renovation being finished. At first she thought it was just having someone around the house, but soon she noticed it was more than that, it was the quality time they spent together. Bob was there almost every day and she spent at least an hour just talking with him. Then she’d take Beau to her bedroom to lie beside her on the bed and she’d catch up on the day’s paperwork or just relax. Sometimes Beau would curl up next to her and she’d nod off; sometimes he’d roll over on his back and she’d idly scratch his belly while she watched TV. She hadn’t had a dog since she was a child. She realized more attention should be given to the serenity that came with scratching a big old dog’s belly.
