Chapter 15

It was invigorating to help with all the small details of the lodge, and Lauren found herself pulling more and more items from the great room floor and taking them to the different rooms, making the beds in the ones that had a bed and doing her best to make things easier for Walker. She didn’t need to be told where things went or what to do next, as she could figure it out as she went.

As each piece was brought into a room, it was as though a part of her was linking to the lodge like this was the place she was supposed to be. Shrugging that off, she knew it sounded ridiculous, especially since she’d just gotten out of a relationship. Their almost-kisses were on her mind at least every few minutes, and as hard as it was to push the thoughts away, she couldn’t help but enjoy the memory.

Several of the rooms were near finished except for the fixtures and décor on the walls, but she’d have to ask Walker what he had in mind for those elements later. After wrapping up all the paper and plastic the items had come in, she took a couple of fixtures upstairs, placing them in rooms that still needed them.

She bumped into Walker on his way out of one of the bear rooms, and they laughed as they dodged back and forth, trying to let each other pass.

“Go ahead,” Walker said, standing against the wall and waving her past with a wide smile.

Lauren grinned and raced down the hall, moving quickly to retrieve the last two fixtures and bring them upstairs. When she’d deposited them in their correct rooms, she moved back to where Walker was working and leaned against the wall in the room, staring up as his fingers connected the wires.

“I can’t believe you know how to do all that,” Lauren said, shaking her head.

Walker stood on the bed with his boots off as he worked, and she stared at the sight of his pants cut as if they were meant for him.

“I’m just glad you were able to get all the covers on. And that you made the beds and put a bunch of the little stuff out. This would have taken me a lot longer without you.” He smiled at her before turning back to the fixture, sending Lauren’s legs to feeling like jelly. She was just grateful she was already leaning against the wall so she didn’t fall to the ground.

“What are you going to do about staff? You aren’t planning on running this all by yourself, are you?” Lauren asked. Her feelings about the lodge had pushed the questions off her tongue. Maybe she could find a job here if nowhere else in Coldwater Creek.

Walker fidgeted with the light some more before opening his mouth to answer. But before he could say anything, the doorbell chimed, and they both froze, surprised by the sound. They hadn’t had anyone by since the snowstorm, and it looked like a part of that solace was now gone.
