Chapter 10

Sunday, May 23

The next few days seemed to fly by. I’d done my route Friday, making sure to spend extra time with Mom and ask her about her day. After I’d completed my route, Tilly and I went home, and I helped Tony with the baby. Tony had copied and sent everything in Theo’s little black book as well as the contents of the flash drive to Dad. We hadn’t heard back from him, but hopefully, we’d get an update on Theo and his potential threat to our mother tomorrow night during the chat we’d set up.

On Saturday morning, I stayed with the baby while Tony went into town. In addition to the groceries he went to the grocer to pick up, he came home with flowers for the planter boxes on the patio as well as herbs for the garden. Tony also came home with paint in shades of white, yellow, and blue. It seemed that he’d decided to paint the walls in the baby’s room yellow and the brown dresser we’d been using for the little princess white. I’d pointed out that her stay with us was temporary, but Tony had made the argument that it would be nice to have a nursery for Mike and Bree’s baby when she came to visit, so any work we put into the room wouldn’t go to waste. I’d half expected him to make a comment about our future baby needing a nursery, but he hadn’t mentioned the idea, although I knew that exact subject was on his mind.

Once Tony had gotten home from town yesterday, we’d had lunch out on the patio, and then we’d taken the dogs and the baby for a long walk around the lake. When we returned from our walk, I got to work painting the benches we had picked up at a yard sale at the end of last summer with the blue paint while he went to work planting the herbs and flowers. Painting the nursery was an indoor activity, and it was much too nice to be indoors today, so I figured that redecorating the space could be Tony’s project during the week.

We’d grilled steaks and eaten out under the stars Saturday evening after Secret had gone to bed. It was a gorgeous evening, and with the added heat provided by the fire pit, it was actually quite pleasant. After we ate, we headed inside to watch a movie and discuss our plans for the following day, which brings us up to today.

“I love what you did with the patio flowers yesterday, but I feel like we need more color around the base of the house. Maybe some shade-loving plants since it does tend to be shady in that area for most of the day,” I said to Tony as we ate the omelets he’d made for breakfast.

“I can make another run to the nursery after we eat. I was thinking we might want to add that water feature to the yard we keep talking about.
