CHAPTER EIGHT

‘I WISH I could figure out what’s missing from the courtyard area.’ Cam had just come from a phone call that Lally had asked him to take and had walked into the kitchen to return the mobile phone to her.

The call had been about an issue happening at his Sydney firm, and he’d resolved it easily enough. When he rejoined Lally in the kitchen, his gaze had shifted to the courtyard, and he’d again been struck by the thought that something was missing out there. ‘I’ve already discussed with the site boss making the courtyard a feature area in the complex. He’s advised against it. He feels that smaller, separate outdoor-areas would be the way to go. But people might want to be able to mingle.’

‘It could turn into a real little community, almost like a family,’ Lally said.

‘Can you spare a minute, Mr Travers?’ The site boss spoke as he knocked on the open apartment-door. ‘Those door panels we ordered have arrived. I think they’ll do as a substitute for the ones you originally wanted that were out of stock, but I figured you’d want to see for yourself.’

Cam did want to see. Lally was already turning away to start her lunch preparations.

‘I’ll come now.’ Cam stepped outside and told himself it was perhaps best that they’d been interrupted. What was the point of plying Lally with personal questions that couldn’t make any difference to their relationship anyway?

That would be the relationship you’re not having with her—the one that involves not thinking about kissing her, not wanting to kiss her again and not needing to know everything about her and understand her even more?

Lally Douglas was his housekeeper and assistant. He didn’t need to know her past and her history and what made her tick. He didn’t.

Cam’s mobile phone beeped in his pocket and he made a mental note to check his text messages straight after this. Somehow, multitasking every moment of his day didn’t feel quite as appealing any more.

When had that happened to him?

‘Right. Let’s look at these panels.’ He strode purposefully forward with the site boss. At least his writing and the development were going well.
