“I can’t believe you bought this place.” I turn in a slow circle around the first floor, which is a storefront, taking in the beautiful yet simple architecture. The brick, the beams, the stained concrete floor. “It’s like a blank canvas.” I stop when my eyes meet his dazzling blues.

“Been here a month now. Haven’t touched this place. The fourth and fifth floors are going to be loft apartments. The sixth floor for Dad if he wants it when he’s in the city. Seven and eight are mine.”

“Your dad?” I ask, trying not to let on that I overheard this morning’s conversation.

He nods. “Just giving him the option, you know.”

No, I don’t know. Not after this morning.

I change the subject. “So, what are you going to do with it?”

He smiles as he looks around. “Haven’t decided yet. I’m sure it will come to me, though.”

“Something brilliant, no doubt.”

His eyes crinkle as he nods. “No doubt. But if I decide to lease it, then that works, too.”

“It’s so clean.”

“Well, yeah.” He laughs. “You wanna see my place?”

“I’d love to.”

We walk toward the back and through a door that leads to an open area with an elevator.

He says the numbers as he punches in the code on the elevator keypad. “Seven, three, one, one, nine.” When the door slides open, he steps in.

“This thing safe?”

He nods and smirks.

“I’m trusting you here, Esposito.”

As the door closes, I stand with my back to him as the elevator ascends. I swear I hear him inhale and look over my shoulder as the elevator stops.

“After you,” he says, placing his hand gently on my back, guiding me out before he takes it away.

I am immediately in awe of the two-story windows across the open area that allows the natural light into the expansive open space. It brightens the apartment’s rough, worn interior walls covered in distressed wood and brick. Between the two windows is a stone fireplace, which goes all the way up two stories.

“Is that a working fireplace?”

He nods, smiling.

The floors are concrete, but when I slide off my sandals and touch my bare feet to it, it’s not cold as I expected. Above the fireplace, on the mantel, a large television is mounted. In front of the fireplace and windows is an oversized, brown, worn leather couch. On each side of it, two matching oversized recliners. Behind the couch is a long sofa table made of a beam, and on it sits pictures and a couple of candles in stainless steel candle holders.

On the far wall opposite the windows is the kitchen. The most impressive part about it is the stone arch above the stainless-steel industrial gas stove that matches the fireplace. The cabinet’s wood matches the large workspace island with a built-in sink. On the opposite side, eight brown leather barstools sit against the concrete countertop. Against one wall is an industrial, two-door refrigeration unit, a large double sink, and more wooden cabinets and a concrete countertop. On the opposite wall there is a twelve-person wooden dining room table with chairs.
