“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?”

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.
