Chapter Seven

Griffin nodded with satisfaction. Rob’s demolition crew had pulled out all the old cabinets, and the carpenters were now building and installing the cabinets Griffin had designed. He stood back and looked at the one they’d completed, imagining what the room would look like when everything was up. The cabinets were on the opposite wall from where they were going to put in the walk-in fridge and freezer, so hopefully they’d be able to demo that wall and add on to the room without everyone getting in each other’s way. He’d never worked on such an ambitious project before—he really hoped they’d be able to pull it off.

Will, his assistant, came into the kitchen just then. “The last trees have been removed,” he said. “They’re just running the trunks through the chipper now.”

“Great,” Griffin replied. Andrew had asked them to keep the chips on site to use as bedding in the barn, and he thought that was a great idea. “What do you think?” He nodded toward the finished cabinet.

“It’s going to look great. Is there anything else you need me to do before I run over to the Sanderson project?”

“No, go ahead. Thanks.”

Griffin had taken another job two days before, and was giving Will the lead on it. Will was a talented architect in his own right, and Griffin’s ultimate plan was to make Will a partner and expand the company. For now, they were still working job to job, but that couldn’t last forever.

Griffin thanked the carpenters for what they were doing, then exited through the kitchen and walked around the building to the front. The dining room floor was being worked on, so no one could cross it. Marissa had wanted to refinish it just like they were doing upstairs, but the wood was too badly damaged, and they were having to redo it. At least they’d found some flooring that had the same old-fashioned look to it—it shouldn’t be too obvious that it wasn’t original to the building.

He climbed the porch steps and entered the lobby, then crossed to the office. Marissa was sitting cross-legged on the desk, sketching, and looked up and smiled when he entered.

“Hey,” she said. “Andrew said he texted you.”

“Yeah.” Griffin held up his phone. “Where is he?”

“Here,” Andrew said, coming down the hallway from the private living quarters. “My interior decorator brought me some paint samples, and asked my opinion. I don’t actually have an opinion.” He handed some colorful cards back to Marissa. “I held these up to the wall like you told me to, and I can’t decide. You choose whatever you think is best.”

She rolled her eyes. “You can’t just automatically like everything I show you. That’s not how this works.”

“I can’t help it if you choose great colors.” He grinned at her, then turned to Griffin. “Thanks for stopping in. I wanted to talk to you about something.”

“Sure. What is it?”

Andrew motioned to a couple of folding chairs in the corner. As they sat, Marissa hopped up.
