Chapter Thirteen

They took their drinks out onto the back deck. It was nice enough out here, but Cal couldn’t help wishing that he already had the house over at Lakeside. He could happily picture sitting out on the deck there with her, watching the sun go down over the lake.

“Do you have a lease on this place?”

Cal set his glass down on the table. It didn’t surprise him that she seemed to be thinking along the same lines he was. He didn’t have huge experience talking with women, but he generally found that they chattered away, chasing their own train of thought with no awareness of his. Teresa wasn’t like that. She was in tune with him somehow.

“Only month to month. Austin, the realtor, he owns it and he said he usually rents this one on a monthly basis to newcomers.”

Teresa nodded. “I like Austin. He’s done well for himself.”

“It sounded that way. He said he set up the brokerage himself, and it seems he does well on the property management side, too.”

“He does. He manages my properties for me. I’ve known him since he was a little kid. He’s a year older than Elle, but his brother, Dallas was in her class in school.”

“What do you think of him?”

She smiled. “He’s a good kid. He’s a different story from Austin. Austin’s the steady, reliable one. Dallas was always a bit wilder. Well, maybe wild is too strong a word, he was always getting into scrapes, but he’s a charmer and could always talk his way back out of them. Why do you ask?”

“He’s going to show me a place over at Four Mile tomorrow. Austin said he’s just got his realtor’s license and I might be his first sale.”

She sipped her drink and looked out across the yard. He’d hoped that she might ask about the house, but she didn’t. He watched her without turning his head, wondering what she was thinking. If he had to guess, he’d say that she was curious but didn’t want to ask.

“Do you want to come with me?”

She turned to him and cocked her head to the side.

“To see the house tomorrow. I like it. I’ve already been inside. Manny and I were over there on the weekend. I’d like to know what you think.”

Her eyes danced as she smiled. “I’d love to see it. Where is it? Oh, wait, what time are you going?”

“I said I’d meet Dallas there at five-thirty, but I can ask him to make it later. What time do you finish work?”

She took her phone out of her purse and checked it. “That’s perfect! I should be done by four-thirty tomorrow.”

“Great. Should I pick you up from the salon?”

She smiled. “I can drive you know.”

He chuckled. “I know. I’m sorry. I just … I like to …” He shrugged. “Am I too old school?”

She winked at him. “Maybe a little, sometimes.”

He pursed his lips. “Does that mean a lot and more than sometimes, but you’re too nice to say so?”

She laughed.
