Chapter 13

It was a busy day at the office for Nick. He managed to set up a private tasting with a very big potential client and confirmed two more locations that would carry Mason’s newest batch once they had them bottled and ready to ship.

There was a knock on his door, and he looked up from the paperwork he was reviewing. For a split second, he’d hoped it was Daisy. After sharing a meal yesterday, he couldn’t seem to get her off his mind no matter how much he warned himself against it.

Tyler peeked his head in. “Got a minute?”

“For you? Eh, I guess so.”

“Funny.” Tyler walked in, slipped out of his coat and sat at the chair on the other side of the desk.

Nick crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back. “What’s going on?” He assumed it had to do with his newest idea.

Nick didn’t mind listening, but he stopped putting too much stock in whatever Tyler was trying to sell him on. Once the appeal wore off and there was actual work that needed to be done, Tyler’s enthusiasm dwindled until the idea was nothing more than a memory added to the long list of discarded projects.

“I was thinking you should sell your house to me.”

Nick fell forward in his chair. “What?” Out of all the crazy ideas he’d had over the years, and there had been many, this had to be the craziest. Why the hell would he sell his house to Tyler?

Tyler held his hands in front of him. “Hear me out. Okay?”

Nick yanked at the collar of his shirt and sat back, already unamused by this newest idea. The least he could do was hear him out; Tyler had always been there for him, especially during his dad’s illness, and while Nick might not agree with Tyler’s lifestyle, it wouldn’t kill him to keep an open mind. And listening didn’t mean he had to go along with whatever he said. He could still say no which he most definitely planned on. “Go on,” Nick said.

“I told you about what I want to do, and I don’t know why it didn’t dawn on me the other night at the bar, but it’s the perfect arrangement. You sell me the house with all the furniture you don’t want, I keep it as is, and rent it out for vacations.”

Nick went to speak, but Tyler kept going.

“People will bring their kids to the ski slopes, or to the fall festival or to the hiking trails in the summer, and your house will become a memory from their childhood. You have the opportunity to give those memories to other families.”

Tyler was working an angle, feeding on Nick’s sense of nostalgia. “I don’t know, Ty.”

“I’m not asking you to make a decision right now. Think about it. Take all the time you need. I’m in no rush. But I think it’ll be a good opportunity for you.” Tyler rested his hand on the desk and looked at Nick. “At least you know I’ll take care of the house.
