They drove into the visitors’ parking lot shortly before ten. Phase two of construction appeared to be well underway, and just as the report had said, the Phase One apartments—the units on the lower floors—were mostly rented. Jarred was surprised to see soccer balls, tricycles, and even hula hoops on many of the balconies.

“I didn’t think families were necessarily your target demographic here?”

“Neither did I.”

The front desk was manned until 8 pm every night; the receptionist welcomed them warmly and handed over the keys to the upper-level units. The empty lobby was extraordinarily elegant, with plush accent rugs covering the stone floors and radiantly white walls. Everything down here seemed spotless; the seating area near the front desk looked like something out of an interior design magazine.

“Well, this area looks just like the brochures, anyway,” Marlene remarked. “Shall we start with the penthouse?”

“How about you check out the penthouse, and I’ll start on the sixth floor?”

“Sure. Just text me when you’re done, or if I get done faster, I’ll text you.”

Jarred highly doubted that Marlene would be faster, lugging around all that gear. But he could also take the opportunity to call Finn. Actually, he probably ought to do that first thing.

He dialed Finn’s number when he stepped out on the sixth floor.

“So the rumors are true! Consider me shocked. When’d you get back, man?”

“A week ago. Hey, speaking of rumors, I hear you’re finally settling down, hm? Congrats!”

“Yeah, thanks, man. I was shittin’ myself worrying that Marie would shoot me down. We’ve been together so long, and… I dunno, hasn’t always been roses and sunshine, has it?”

Hadn’t it? Jarred couldn’t really remember.

“So, you got time for lunch today or what?”

He knew Marlene was meeting a friend for lunch after this, and there was no way he’d be able to keep his hands to himself around Rose, so lunch with her was definitely out. Just thinking about her lips… “Um, sure, yeah. I’m out and about at the moment, be free by noon.”

“Perfect! I’ll book us a table. Indian or Thai?”

“Thai.”

“Right, let’s do that place by Tower Gate. Brand-new, not on the fortieth floor or whatever. Really nice food, classy place. We can meet outside Campbell at one if you like—you’re still working for your dad, aren’t you?”

Jarred agreed and hung up. Okay, one thing ticked off the list. Now for the real reason he was here. He glanced around in the hallway, which was already a whole lot shabbier than the lobby. There were four units on this floor: two two-bedrooms, two three-bedrooms. He walked up to the nearest door and unlocked it.
