Sam was glad Robin was preoccupied all day at Dottie’s Diner. That might have been his doing when he stopped in to get the coffee. But he needed her out of the house for a while. She wasn’t in the way at all. He had no choice but to call in a favor and bring in someone experienced to help him.

Sneaking someone into Tremont, unnoticed, wasn’t easy. For a place that seemed to want to live privately, they knew more about each other’s lives than anyone did in the city. But somehow, he pulled it off. Ron arrived shortly after Robin left and they got right to it. They removed the old fuse box and put in a modern breaker system. Then they got the kitchen and bathroom back on line with dedicated outlets. He was far from done, but to have a working kitchen and bathroom was a game changer for her.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to hang around? We could bang this place out in about two days if we hustle,” Ron offered.

“Yeah, I’m sure. Besides, I need you back in Boston.”

Ron shook his head. “It looks like you need me more here.”

Need. Yes. Want? No. This wasn’t one of his jobs. He was here because he wanted to be. At least for now. He figured by the time the work was done, he’d be over whatever hold she had on him. It wasn’t as though he couldn’t break it, more like he didn’t want to. Having Ron around would do exactly that.

“I have help,” Sam said.

“Yet you called me. Something doesn’t add up,” Ron said. “Why do I get the feeling the house doesn’t belong to a little old lady in her nineties?”

With brows raise, Sam said, “What are you implying?”

“You came back to Boston talking like Tremont was the last place you wanted to be. That there was no excitement here. Seems you found something…exciting. Cause I can’t remember the last time you got your hands this dirty.”

“Don’t forget who signs your check,” Sam warned.

“And provided a nice bonus. Thank you by the way. My wife had it spent before I even got home. She said she earned it being married to me all these years.”

Sam laughed. “There’s not enough money in the world to cover that.” Ron was a good worker and friend, but he liked to joke around. There were a few pranks he had pulled on his wife and Sam thought for sure she was going to kill him for it. Ron knew better than to pull that shit with him. No matter how good a worker he was, Sam would’ve fired his ass.

“Well, since you don’t want me here, I guess I’ll drive back to Boston. Not bad getting forty bucks an hour to do nothing but drive,” Ron laughed as he walked to his truck. “Call me when something else breaks.”

Unfortunately, that was just a matter of time. He didn’t want to discourage Robin, but this house needed more work than it might be worth.
