“It’s brilliant, isn’t it?” Julian said, holding his head high. “Of course, it’s only domestic cobbles. They were too cheap to use imported, or sandstone or granite slabs like I suggested, but every one of these stones is perfectly level. Not an easy task, trust me.”

Kate’s eye roll went unnoticed as she walked the path leading back to the house. “It’s very nice, Julian.”

“Nice? Is that all you can say? Look around, Kate. This is my work. This is what will put food on our table, and believe you me, it has to be better than nice to do that.”

“Julian,” Kate said, coming to a stop. “You’ve spent the last two hours pointing out every cobble, every stone, and every bench. It’s warm. I’m thirsty, and my feet are sore. Your work is marvelous. It truly is, but I’m getting a little tired. If you don’t mind, I think I’d like to head back to that bench we passed and rest for a bit. All right?”

“Honey, I don’t have time to sit,” Julian said, straightening his posture. “The guest list is filled with possibilities. I can’t waste my time relaxing down here when there’s money to be made up there.”

“Then go on without me. I’ll catch up.”

“That’s a marvelous idea,” Julian said, spinning on his heel. “Thanks, babe.”

Julian sprinted up the path, and smiling to herself, Kate turned around and retraced her steps. It only took a minute to come upon the bench she’d seen, and taking a seat, Kate promptly kicked off her shoes. It was a gorgeous summer day, and with not a cloud in the sky, Kate was thankful for not only the shade provided by a nearby tree but also for the light breeze that continued to blow. She was also thankful to escape her new shoes. Wiggling her toes, Kate muttered, “Next time, Monroe, buy something that feels good instead of just something that looks good.”
