Hux

“Before we go to dinner, I need to run an errand.”

“Okay.” Everly pulled her coat and purse from the hook beside the door in my office. A hook I’d hung up yesterday.

In the past two weeks, she’d transformed the gallery. The storage room had never looked better. I could actually see how many pieces I had completed, all organized by size. The couch in my office was free of clutter and usable for a change. Not that I spent much time there, but last night after Katie had left for the evening, Ev and I had broken it in. An orgasm was the least I could give her for all her efforts.

When I’d asked her about a salary, she’d waved it off, saying it was her contribution to the Huxley household. Still, I’d called the bank and ordered her a debit card to my account. And her own company credit card. She’d mentioned running low on savings, so if she needed more, she could take it.

Given all she’d accomplished in only two weeks, I was getting the better end of the bargain. She’d done more around the gallery than I had in a year. While she’d bustled around, I’d spent hours going through the piles on my desk. I was about done, sick to death of paperwork, but with it somewhat sorted, she’d have an easier time taking over the books. It had all been a welcome distraction, preventing me from harassing Aiden hourly about the petition.

We hadn’t heard back yet from the court as to when my proposed amendment to the parenting plan would be reviewed, but we hoped it would be scheduled soon. Until then, I would work.

Everly and I came to the gallery every morning after it opened at ten. At first, she’d insisted on hanging the shelves and hooks and whatever else she’d wanted on her own. But after those first couple of days, she’d announced she wasn’t handy and forked over the drill. So I’d taken over installation while she’d organized and filled a spiral notebook with inventory notes ready to be keyed into my bookkeeping program.

I’d gladly hand over control of that nightmare. If she thought this building was a mess, just wait until she opened my laptop.

It would keep her busy though while I spent some overdue time in the studio at home. Katie had lined up three more custom pieces for me to do in the next six weeks. Then there was getting ahead on inventory for summer.

“Tomorrow, I’m probably not coming down,” I said as Everly shrugged on her coat.

“Good. That will give me time to get familiar with your books without you hovering.” She nodded to the desk.

“You good to drive my truck?” I hadn’t missed how Lucy had been the one to drive my truck on Ev’s first trip to the hardware store. And since, she’d paired her shopping trips with our lunch hour so she could drag me along—all in the name of public appearances.

“Uh . . .
