Chapter 79

“Your mother and Theo did an amazing job. Tomorrow we’ll go back to the condo and see what else we need to bring here.”

“We’ll have to bring our cars here too. We should check out the carriage house.”

“The yard looks great.” Quinn looked around at the mature oaks and maple trees our landscaper had managed to preserve. We also had dogwood and magnolia trees. Portia had mentioned they were for color and fragrance. “That tree over there—” He stopped.

“What about it?”

He shook his head. “Sorry, I lost my train of thought.”

“C’mon, Mann. Spill the beans.” I could tell he was keeping something from me.

He sighed. “I was thinking it would be perfect for a treehouse.”
