Chapter Ten – Theo

He sensed her approaching. Securing the tile he had fit into position, he turned around to see her.

Kissing Dylan. His bear was enraged.

It was just a kiss on the cheek, Theo reassured his bear.

Why? Why would they be kissing? His bear growled, and Theo had to hang onto his hammer, his fist clamped around it, while he fought not to throw it at his boss.

Let it go, Theo said. But he would have to ask her, once this roof was finished.

He let out his breath, releasing the tension in his arms; he’d been stressed all morning. Theo wanted to get the roof finished as quickly as possible. For some reason, Dominic had chosen today to become disinterested and vacant. On more than one occasion, Theo had caught him looking at his phone, and then out into the distance.

“Can you pass me the next tile?” Theo said. He could have reached it himself, but he was trying to keep Dominic engaged. A difficult task.

Dominic passed it to him wordlessly.

“Thanks,” Theo said. “Is everything all right?”

“Yes.” But Dominic’s face said otherwise.

Gritting his teeth, and resisting the urge to shout at the boy to pull himself together, Theo fixed the next tile, one eye occasionally drifting to where Zara and Grace stood talking. What were they so engrossed in?

“Are you going over to Dylan’s on Christmas Day?” Theo asked, knowing that Dominic had been invited along with everyone else.

“Christmas Day?” Dominic asked, abruptly, as if the words had been a shock.

“Yes, he’s having an open house all afternoon, but if you are alone, you are welcome for Christmas lunch too. Steph will pull out all the stops.” He watched Dominic while holding out his hand for the next tile, which the boy dutifully passed to him.

“Christmas is not really my thing. I’m going to stay home.”

“Hey there, how is it going?” Dylan asked, climbing onto the roof, before Theo could persuade Dominic to spend the day with other people.

“Another half an hour, and we should be done,” Theo said, studying Dylan’s face, which looked flushed with excitement. “What have you been doing?”

His question was accusatory, more than he had wanted it to be. A thing not lost on Dylan, but his boss just smiled. “I’ve had a good morning. A productive morning.” He looked down to where Zara was leaning on the hood of the truck.

“Are you going to help, or just sit there?” he asked Dylan, wanting to get down off this roof and speak to Zara as quickly as possible.

“I’ve come to help. Pass me a tile, Dominic, and then go down and get the last batch. We’ll have it finished in no time.”

“Are you going to tell me anymore?” Theo asked, as they worked side by side, out of earshot of Dominic, who was going down the ladders.

“Nope,” Dylan said. “I think it’s something you should speak to Zara about.”

“Is she OK?” Theo asked, looking down to where Zara had moved to talk to Dominic.

“Yes. She is.” Dylan grinned.
