Oawyer didn’t plan to do all the work himself. He would have liked to, but he knew his limitations. For starters, time was a factor. At the rate of two weekends a month, it would take him years to make the place livable. He wanted to be able to enjoy it before that. And then there was the matter of skill. He was a lawyer, not a carpenter or a mason or a millworker. He knew how to reshingle a roof, how to refinish floors, how to miter moldings, even how to install cabinets, but when it came to carving windows through brick, wiring an electrical system, designing a heating system and installing new plumbing, he was willing to yield to the experts.

He told Faith as much when they took a break for lunch, which consisted of burgers at a diner on the way into town.

“There’s no point in doing it if it isn’t done right. I don’t want to end up with something that will blow apart when the first coastal storm hits.”

Faith had spent a good part of the morning in and out of the water tower, first relaying shingles up to Sawyer, then trying to familiarize herself with the tower so she wouldn’t shiver each time she walked in. Putting a jacket over her sweater helped beat the chill; she wasn’t quite as successful fighting the heeby-jeebies.

With the drive behind them, with Sawyer fully awake, with the worst of his frustration expended on the roof, he was in the best of moods.

As far as Faith was concerned, that was dangerous. Each time he grinned, she felt tiny prickles of awareness march through her belly.

She tried to think back to the days when he grinned and she enjoyed it in an innocent way, but those days seemed an eon ago. She wasn’t sure she was ever again going to be able to see Sawyer’s grin without melting a little inside.

The water tower, she supposed, was in apt counterpoint to what she was feeling.

“Very solid,” she confirmed.

His grin relaxed when he took a large bite of his sandwich, but all that did was to shift her awareness from his mouth to his other features. Though he’d washed up before they left the house, he still had the rugged look of a workman. Part of it was due, she was sure, to the gray athletic T-shirt he wore under a faded flannel shirt, jeans that were old, worn and thin, and work boots. The other part was due to the muss of his dark hair, the ruddy color on
