Chapter 10

Harry walked through the kitchen of the little coastal cottage his team had been gutting over the past week, his assistant, Jason, following close behind. It wasn’t really a kitchen anymore. It was more an empty shell with some exposed plumbing. But by the end of the following afternoon, it would look like a kitchen again. Cabinets would be arriving within the hour, floors were going in first thing the next morning, and the appliances and fixtures would be in a few hours after that.

“What about the French doors?” Harry asked. “Will they be here in time?”

Jason nodded. “The truck has already left the warehouse. It’ll be here by six.”

“Perfect. And Tyson will be here early to finish the install before we start filming?”

Jason nodded again. “Yes, and yes.”

“Good. I want to get shots of the floors in progress, but the door already needs to be in before that happens.”

“Yep. It’s all on the schedule for tomorrow.” He pulled a file out of a portfolio and handed it to Harry. “Mary wants you to look these over. Notes on the next project. A young couple modernizing grandma’s house to fit the needs of their growing family.”

Harry flipped through the photos. “Looks like the house has good bones,” he said. “Built when?”

“1923,” Jason said quickly.

Harry smiled. Jason used to have to look for information like that when Harry asked. Lately, it seemed like he anticipated Harry’s questions before he’d even had time to voice them.

Jason rolled his eyes, clearly having noticed Harry’s glee. “What? Your questions are very predictable. Is it so surprising that I’ve figured you out?”

Harry handed the file back to Jason. “Tell Mary I approve.”

“Friday or Monday for pre-reno walkthrough?”

Harry scratched the back of his neck and looked around the cottage. They’d probably finish up by Wednesday, which meant cleaning would happen Wednesday night. That meant staging, and post-renovation clean shots would happen on Thursday. They’d be wrapped by Thursday afternoon at the latest.

“If she’s offering Monday as an option, let’s go with that. I think everyone deserves a long weekend.” Harry crossed through the living room and out the front door toward his truck.

“Got it,” Jason said, making notes as he followed. “Okay, last thing. The network called again, wanting to know if you’re going to the charity event next Sunday night.”

Harry unbuckled his tool belt and dropped it into the passenger seat of his truck.

“This is the fifth time that Beth Ann has called me to ask what your plans are.”

“That many?”

Jason pulled out his buzzing phone. “Oh, look.” He turned the screen to face Harry, revealing Beth Ann’s name, then silenced the incoming call. “Now it’s six times.”

Harry smirked. “You really don’t like talking to Beth Ann, do you?”

Jason scowled. “Don’t pretend like you don’t also think she’s scary. You need to go to this thing, Harrison, and you need to bring a date. Your adoring public hasn’t seen you looking happy in too long. Did you read Greta’s email this morning? She explained all of this.
