Chapter Thirteen

Dana tried every tile shop she knew but none of them could get the amount of tile needed for at least three days. Which did them no good at all. Finally, she looked online at one of the giant chain home improvement stores and found both a large and small tile that looked similar to the others they’d chosen. She showed the pictures to Levi.

“Looks good to me. Do they have enough?”

“One way to find out.” She called several stores within a reasonable distance but no one carried enough of the tiles. They would all have had to order from their warehouses and that would take time Dana didn’t have. Just when she was beginning to despair she called the store in Kerrville, and struck gold. She spoke with the manager and then hung up.

“Well?” Levi said.

“They have it. As much as we need with extra.”

“That’s great. Isn’t it? Why don’t you look happier?”

“I’m happy. I’ll be happier when we have it in our possession. I think we should pick it up. Today. It feels like tempting fate to wait for it to be delivered. Besides, I want to see it in person.”

“Not a problem. I have a pickup.”

“Of course you do.”

“Every Texas boy needs to own a pickup at least once in his life. Let’s go.”

Dana followed him out to the car barn. Before when they’d been together, Levi only had five or six cars. In fact, when he moved to Florida with her he’d left all but one of his cars in Whiskey River. Which should have alerted her to the fact that Levi wasn’t happy with the move. But there was no sense beating herself up about something she’d done when she was young and, quite frankly, stupid. “How many cars do you have, Levi?”

“Here? Only about twenty-five.”

“Only twenty-five? You have more?”

“Yes. Most of them are in a garage that’s out in the country. Near the airport, actually.” He opened the side door and let her go in first.

Cars. Lots of cars of different colors, makes, models, and ages. It looked like a dealership, maybe a used car dealership of classic cars, except these cars were in pristine condition. “Do you drive all these cars?”

“Sure. What’s the point of having them if you don’t drive them?” He stopped at a white pickup. “Here we go.”

“It’s huge.”

“Betsy will carry a lot and pull a heavy load.”

“I bet. Betsy? You name your cars?”

“Yes. Betsy’s a truck, though. She’ll be insulted if you call her a car.”

Who knew Levi had such a whimsical side? She wasn’t at all sure she could get into “Betsy” without help. There were no running boards and it was pretty high off the ground.

Levi opened her door and waited for her to get in. “You should’ve named her Wonder Woman. Maybe I should take a running start.”

He laughed. “Put your foot up there and I’ll give you a boost.”

With Levi’s hand boosting her butt she managed to get in. Levi walked around to the driver’s side, got in and the truck started with a roar.
