Ford had spent afternoons removing floor-to-ceiling wallpaper that felt shorter than this one. As Tanya’s personal assistant, she took her time, insisting that one could never take enough photos. “This place has so much to offer. I want to make sure I capture all its wonderful features,” she’d claimed, dragging Ford by the arm to the next spot.

She must’ve taken twenty shots of every room and closet. And twenty more of any outdoor feature she deemed important or eye-catching. She’d have over a thousand photos to go through if he had to guess.

Now that it was dinner time, Tanya’s brake lights finally flashed at the end of the driveway before she turned onto the road. He rubbed the back of his neck, sore from having her sit on his shoulders to take the main exterior photos. “No way that was necessary,” he mumbled.

He had no idea where Rilee and Cadence had gone off to, but they’d disappeared inside with Riggs over an hour ago. As tired as he was of Tanya mooning over him, no doubt. It was his fault for recommending her. But he didn’t know another photographer in the area who’d be able to accommodate the last-minute request.

The second-best thing would’ve been talking Cadence out of listing photos altogether. But that was still a work in progress. Though she had thirty days to sign the addendum of intent with her sisters as to what they planned to do with the lodge, he suspected her signature would be given by Sunday. The fate of Rilee’s first year of college rested in that decision.

He’d gotten a letter just this morning with a request for tuition payment for the first semester. Seeing that large figure under Amount Due caused it all to sink in. He’d been saving what little he could for years, but there still wasn’t enough in his bank account to cover the first year. Funds from life insurance policies had gone for a new well, replaced septic, flood damage repairs insurance wouldn’t cover. One major thing after another, causing Rilee’s college fund to dwindle over time.

At the front door, he kicked off his boots, leaving them outside on the deck. He’d stepped in mud on one of Tanya’s shoulder-shots and didn’t want to track it inside. Faint noises carried from down a hallway, but otherwise the house felt empty.

Really, he should gather Rilee and head back to their cabin. The water was running just fine, thanks to a simple flip of a switch. But he found himself yearning to prolong his stay. Was there anything he could do to convince Cadence to ask them to stay longer? Probably better not press my luck.

“There you guys are.” He found the two women sprawled out on opposite ends of the L-shaped sofa in the den, heads on pillows, and a criminal investigation show playing on TV. Riggs was stretched out on the floor between them, all fours in the air.

Cadence let out a yawn as she sat up. “You guys all done?”

Rilee chimed in, “Or is Tanya staying for dinner too?”

“I’m sorry, guys.
