SEVERAL DAYS passed without any interruptions. We spent the time learning about each other and getting me completely moved. Dolf’s mom stopped by one day to visit. I really liked her and Monty.

We discussed where to build my shop and even picked a spot. January was slowly but surely slipping away. It was now Friday, and the joining ceremony was scheduled to take place tonight. After lunch, Dolf ran to town to take care of a few things. From what I understood, those attending the event would be coming back here. Since it was just Tal and me at home, we decided to check out the space he had in mind for my shop. We walked down the paved driveway, holding hands and talking about ideas Tal had for the shop. He stopped at a beaten-down path off the side of the driveway leading into the woods.

It was far enough from the house that my business wouldn’t interfere with my home life, but close enough I could walk if I wanted. This part of their land was heavily wooded. That would help hide the business. I’d have to talk to Tal about not knocking down every tree around the site. Damned if I wanted to be lazing about outside and see the workplace sitting out there, just waiting on me to show up.

Tal walked off the area he had in mind, then showed me where the separate drive would be. The dimensions boggled my mind. Tal was talking about a real, honest-to-goodness professional place of business. Not just a barn or old carport someone converted.

“This is…. Tal, this is more than I ever dreamed. I’m not sure I really need something this big.”

“Oh, you will. No one in our clowder is a mechanic. We have lawyers, Web site designers, doctors, grocery store owners, gas station owners, my construction company… but no mechanic. And that’s just us. Once you get up and running, the paranormals from the surrounding cities will probably end up doing business here too.”

“What about humans?”

“I’m sure you’ll have humans who are customers. Just be careful around them.” Tal’s hands settled on his hips. “I would ask, though, if you ever decide to hire help, hire from the clowder.”

“Getting ahead of yourself there, cutie. I’ll need more business than I had before to hire someone.” I stared at the space Tal had walked off. I could almost see the shop, see the cars on the parking pad in front, waiting to be serviced. My dream was so close.

“So, what do you think?” Tal gestured to the land.

“I love it.” I grinned at Tal, shutting away my worries as Tal’s excitement caught hold of me. “I really love it. What do we do next?”

“I’ll design some plans, mark off the area for construction, get the loan….” Tal hugged me. “Don’t worry about that end of it. That’s what I do. You need to give me input on what you want and what needs to go where. I can’t wait.
