DREW

I’D REALLY MESSED THINGS up with Jessa. I knew I had.

She was ignoring all my attempts to contact her, and the fact that she was in Boston with her fiancé was driving me fucking mad.

I’d drank more since Wednesday than I had in years, but I also pushed myself to work harder than ever. Breton had stayed in Boston this week, so it was just me working on the property alone. Colleen hadn’t even been here this week.

But I knew everyone would be back tonight, it was Thursday and there were no hockey or basketball games to attend or even watch. I’d been trying to follow them so I’d be able to be social with Breton and his friends.

I’d spent the past few weeks getting all the plans and projects for the house and grounds finalized, materials ordered, and contractors sorted for the larger tasks. There was a lot of work to be done, and even more preparations for them. But before I finalized any of the finer details, I first needed the Cahills’ approval for how I wanted to transform their outdoor Hyannis Port property.

Between finalizing the Cahill Global parking lot and building renovation, preparing and presenting the proposal for the private departure terminal and the Cahills’ Hyannis Port home, I’d never been so busy in my life. Since I’d moved out to the Cape, I’d been working mainly on my computer and not doing much physical work, but I knew it was coming, and I was actually really excited for it.

These were the biggest projects I’d ever undertaken, and the Hyannis Port home was like a blank canvas, and it was all mine. At first, I was intimidated and felt, well, over my head. But as I got a feel for the property and the surroundings, the ideas just kept coming. The Cahills’ Hyannis Port property sat on just under an acre of prime waterfront land. The house was a massive 1920’s style mansion, built at the time of new money and at the height of the roaring-twenties Hyannis Port social scene. I knew it had been a family home, previously owned by Mrs. Cahill’s great aunt.

It had been left to the family, but the Cahills has bought it from the estate in the mid-nineties and spent a lot of time and money updating it then. But nearly twenty years later, it was in dire need for more updating.

All the plumbing and electrical was still sound, having been done during the large original renovation. But from the few times I’d been inside, I knew there were major interior flaws. I knew aside from some grass seed, a new hot tub and a basic wooden deck, the outside of the house had been mainly neglected. In a way, it was great because I could change anything and everything.

I finally had all my plans and timelines drafted for the next few months. After showering and changing for dinner, I noticed that the Cahills’ cars were here, along with Breton’s, his mother’s and Jessa’s.
