It took a few minutes to calm themselves. There were more apologies and tears, but soon enough, Fiona and Ashleigh had pulled themselves together, both feeling that the first steps of mending their relationship had been taken.
Caleb stepped forward between them, putting an arm around each of them as they looked at the house together.
“You said it wasn’t finished, but it looks pretty finished to me,” Caleb remarked.
“Well,” Fiona said, “As I said, the main structure was finished two years ago, including the plumbing and most electrical work. Most of what was left to do was in the garage and then cosmetic touches. I’ve had a team working on it in the past few days, but it will still take another week or two before it’s move-in ready. I had to add a few new upgrades.”
Caleb raised his brow with curious delight.
“Upgrades?” he asked.
Fiona smiled.
