Chapter Ten

Parking the Corvette behind the BMW at the head of the driveway, Clay stood for a long time, looking at the outside of the old Britton Mansion. The brick structure was still sound, he knew this from the reading the reports from Dana’s outside contractor. The eight columns that spanned the front of the house were intact, but in need of repair. The second floor balcony would need replacing as well as the railings on both levels.

He saw that windows were boarded up in places, and a chill ran through him as he realized the amount of vandalism that had occurred since the last time he had been there. Walking up the wide brick stairway, he turned, knowing a good crew could prune the trees and work the flower beds back into shape with some hard work. That’s what he saw, a lot of work to be done. Dana had been right to give herself the five-year plan.

The ceiling of the wide veranda had no paint left, only a patch or two of the original teal blue color peeked from under the rafters. He knew she would go to great lengths to have the color matched. The front door was propped open with a stack of books. Entering the gloomy hall, he could envision Dana’s idea of bringing the old place back to life, giving it a second chance. Drapes had been drawn back, and dust motes filled the air around him, vivid in the harsh rays of sunlight spilling through the few remaining unbroken windows.
