#Chapter67

Welcome Home, Mrs. Gray

Patty

/"Are your eyes closed?/" Nate asked me.

/"Yes, for the hundredth time. Why did you need to carry me?/"

/"Because carrying you is fun./" He chuckled.

We stopped.

He set me down and leaned into my ear. /"Ready?/"

/"Yep./"

/"Open your eyes./"

I opened my eyes to see an unfinished house. /"It’s nice./"

He walked in front of me. /"I got a good deal on it. Dad and my brothers will help me renovate the house. Then it’ll be our dream home. Hun, what do you think?/"

I smiled at him. I didn’t want to dash his dream. Oh, boy. This house was something else.

He grabbed my hand, dragged me to the front door, opened it, and showed me the house, which needed work.

The electrical, plumbing and drywall were in disrepair. This house would be an exciting place to live. No wonder Nate got it dirt cheap. The house was a dump. I hope he knows what he’s doing.
