“Make yourselves comfortable. I’ll be right back.”

He set a few bags down and looked around. He ran back out to the car. He was so fast Jacey and I barely had time to look at each other. She was more excited about this change than scared about the mysterious cause of it, I was relieved to see.

Lucky bounded back in the front door like a large, sexy, Labrador retriever. He had bags full of the groceries he’d bought just a few days before. I guess we were all fortunate that he’d overdone it.

“Need to get this stuff in the fridge. You ladies pick rooms and get settled. There’s one down here and three upstairs.”

I took Jacey’s hand and one of her bags and walked up the stairs. We glanced into each of the rooms. Jacey sighed in pleasure at the smallest of them. It had a sloped ceiling and a small window seat with a wooden bench. She looked at me and I nodded.

The place was clean, thank Goodness. All I had to do was make the bed. I’d also have to air it out for a bit.

She ran to the window and opened it.

Clean, fresh air flowed into the room. She gasped and pointed.

“Mom, look! There’s a lake.”

I scooted in beside her to stare outside. I inhaled deeply. It really was perfect.

“Oh my God.” We looked at each other and then started laughing in joy. “It’s heaven!”

Being near a large body of water was on my list for our dream house. Just like the ocean, lakes released negative ions which made the air cleaner. It was exactly what my girl needed to thrive.

I didn’t know how Lucky did it, but he had.

“Scoot, I need to get the room set up.”

“Okay if I look around the house?”

“Yes, but don’t stir up any dust.”

“The place seems really clean.”

“Lucky said they use the place a lot. But still, maybe better to check out the deck out back. Don’t go any farther!”

I took Jacey downstairs and found a door in the kitchen leading to the deck. I tried not to drool at Lucky’s cute butt as he bent over and unloaded stuff from the bags.

“Is it okay if she goes outside? I think the air out there will be better until I run the air purifier for a bit.”

He grinned.

“Yes, ma’am. Just stay off the dock. It’s a little late for a swim.”

Jacey giggled and nodded happily. I watched her step outside nervously.

“It’s safe out there? Not falling apart?”

He shook his head.

“We have way too many carpenters in the club for anything to fall apart around here.” He smiled at me proudly. “I’m not too bad myself with a hammer and nail, though Jack is the master.”

“He’s amazing.”

“Thank you for trusting him. I know he’s intimidating at first.”

I shrugged.

“It was so weird. I took one look in his eyes and I knew he meant me no harm.”

“That’s Jack. He’s the champion of women and children everywhere.”

I nodded, realizing there was a story there. Maybe if Lucky wanted me around long enough, I would hear it.
