Chapter Ten

Devlin looked down at the small box. It was something that he had actually brought home to work on. He had to work late, getting a few more small items so that he could sell this stuff. This box was going to be pastel, pinks and purples swirled around in an abstract landscape. At least that was the plan, but he couldn’t focus on it. It had been a problem before. A block. And no way to handle it.

After a couple of weeks talking to Chance every chance he got, he found himself behind. He needed stuff to sell so that he could pay his rent. He shook his head, forcing himself to think about anything other than the bills that needed to be paid. It wasn’t going to be easy and would be a late night, but it was going to be worth it. He just wanted to get it all done before Chance showed up in five days.

He yawned though. Energy drinks were all well and good, but the work felt overwhelming and that made him want to sleep instead of dealing with it. An easier prospect to be sure. He resisted the idea and unpacked the supplies onto the small dining table he kept off to the side of his living room. It was a work table, eating alone didn’t have much use for it to eat off of, even if it was technically his dining area. Through the small window of the wall, he could see the kitchen, with the little ledge that could be used to slide food across, if the cabinets hadn’t been in the way and the counters hadn’t made it impossible for anyone but the tallest person to reach.

But it was his home, and he used it for a place for his modem and Wi-Fi router so that he could use his laptop. It was a rare treat to randomly surf the internet, and definitely something that he was considering instead of all the work that he desperately needed to finish up. He sighed heavily. There was far too much that needed doing in his life. And he couldn’t focus on any of it.

“Get to work, Devlin.” He groaned at himself. “Just get started. The first step is always the hardest.”

He talked himself into it, putting out his paints, and within an hour or so he had refurbished a toolbox, a music box, and a jewelry box. Only a few more items that needed to be finished up before he could stop for the night.

But the knock on the door distracted him from getting anything else done. He glanced at the clock. “Nine? Who shows up at nine?” He checked his phone. A few messages from Chance, but nothing to show that anyone was on their way over. Chance was still on his tour. Another check of the date as the soft knock sounded again. Chance wasn’t due in town for a few days at least.

“I’m coming.” He called out and walked over to the door.
