Chapter 12

Thursday

“Slow down, kids! Don’t run into Miss Leander’s apartment without—” Jasper told his children as they ran through Rose’s door the moment she opened it.

“Without knocking?” Mack grinned at Jasper.

“Don’t worry Jasper, your children and I have already met, and I told them they are welcome in my home anytime,” Rose told the furniture maker when he followed his children into her home. Because Rose shared the staircase and landing with the Kerns, Rose had already met Jasper’s wife, Julip, and her children, five-year-old Tara and three-year-old Tyrell.

“Let’s see what you need up here,” Mack said as he walked around the apartment he and Jasper built this past year. It was void of any shelving, furniture, etc. until the new renter or owner moved in.

“It needs everything. It’s empty,” Tara said as she whirled in circles.

“You’re right, Tara, but I have plans to change that,” Rose told the child.

“Jasper, what furniture do you have on hand that I can buy now?”

“Well now, I can sell you everything I got, which is displayed downstairs in our store, and build more too. I have a nice table and six chairs that would fit in this dining room. I’ll have to tell you I don’t like to make chairs, so I order them first, then finish the table to match the color.”

“You don’t have to apologize for that, Jasper. I’ve seen your table and matching chairs, and I love them. I would also like you to build a matching buffet table for this wall though,” Rose said as she walked to the wall to the right of the windows. The light was bright with the three large windows in the room.

“If you don’t sew, talk to Mary Jenkins about curtains,” Mack said when he saw Rose walk to the window and look down. Hopefully, he didn’t realize she was looking toward the post office, hoping to see Cullen out and about.

“I’ll do that. That’s one skill I didn’t learn in the circus.”

Rose would order a parlor set for the living area. She’d love to have a matching set of a divan, two or three upholstered chairs, and a rocker. And at least two end tables. Rose wondered if she’d have a choice for the upholstery colors.

Rose followed as the group moved into the kitchen, after waiting for Tara to attempt some handstands in the doorway. Rose would have to put on a costume and teach Tara some simple aerobatics. Even without the use of her left arm, Rose could probably still do one-handed stands, tumbling, and flips.

“Isaac Connely’s already furnished the kitchen with the wood stove and dry sink. You want shelves and a counter built on the west wall?” Mack asked.

“I have so much space I’m giddy!” Rose laughed. “Build whatever you think I’d need, Mack.”

“A work table and set of chairs would be nice for the middle of the room. How about a pie safe?” Jasper asked.

“Yes, I’d like a pie safe. Pies have become my favorite dessert since Millie Wilerson showed me how to make them.
