It was flanked with shelves, mirroring the wood and beaded accents on the trim. “It’s just the sort of detail a room this size needs. Brings it in without losing the sense of space. Makes it cozy.”

“Thanks. I’m thinking about fronting them with glass—pebbled maybe. Haven’t decided. But I’m doing that with the built-ins I’m making for the dining room, so I may just leave these open.”

He was proud of his work, but her enthusiastic response gave him an extra boost. “Kitchen’s done, if you want to see.”

“I do.” She glanced back at the fireplace as she walked out. “Can you do something like that in my place?”

“I can do anything you want.”

She passed him back the towel. “We’ll have to talk about your rates.”

“I’ll give you an infatuation discount.”

“I’d be a fool to say no.” She poked her head in other rooms on the way. “I’m nosy. What’s this going to be? Like a TV room?”

“That’s the plan. Room enough for a good-sized entertainment unit. I’m working on a design.”

“Using the monster in your living room as a measuring tool.”

He smiled easily. “You’re going to watch, why not watch?”

“I’m thinking of using this space in my house for a library. Lots of shelves, warm colors, maybe putting in one of those little gas fireplaces. Big cushy chairs.”

“That wall’d be best for the fireplace.” He gestured with a lift of his chin. “Could do a nice window seat over there.”

“A window seat.” She considered him. “Just how infatuated are you?”

“I was going to have a beer and the ball game. Then I saw you.”

“Pretty infatuated.” She strolled out, glanced into the half bath. New tiles, she noted, new fixtures. Then the dining room, where she found major construction in progress. “It’s a lot of work.”

“I like the work. Even when I have to shoehorn it in between active clients. Business is good, so this place is taking me longer than the last one. But I like it here, so that’s a point. Then there’s you.”

“Hmmm.” She left that without comment and wandered into the kitchen. “Holy crap, Bo. This is amazing. It’s like a magazine.”
