“You could tear it down for an open floor plan.” But it only needs cosmetic changes, although I think we should get an engineer out to see if that wall is load bearing.” She pointed to the wall separating this room from the living room. The four-foot-tall built-in cabinets surrounding the window were impressive, but the ugliest glass and brass light fixture he’d ever seen, which was currently hanging off center in the room, had to go. The dining room walls were covered with blue-and-pink floral wallpaper. He shook his head, then headed toward the kitchen. Refinish the floor, repaint, add new trim, and you’re good to go.” The hardwood floor needed to be refinished, and the window moldings were small and skimpy, not to mention lumpy and chipped after multiple layers of paint. “Okay, let’s get this tour started.”Ĭuddling the kitten with one hand, Megan waved around the room with the other. But he had a feeling this place was going to suck up more money than anyone realized. He looked around his house and groaned, suddenly scared-and, after everything he’d seen, it took a lot to scare him.
He considered telling her the truth, but she’d give him more grief about his no-women rule. “Oh, yeah? The little old ladies in the neighborhood already looking out for you?” “Did I hear someone at the door?” Megan asked, coming out of the bathroom, the kitten in her hand. He had plenty of other things to focus on: working on his house, re-acclimating to life in his hometown, and helping Matt reorganize his company.
So as he made the shift into civilian life, it seemed like a good time to shake up everything and self-impose a ban on women. He’d had a string of disastrous relationships, but the horrifying end of his last relationship had brought him to the conclusion that it was time to reevaluate his love life along with his career choice. If he’d learned nothing else from his last breakup, he had learned that he had absolutely terrible taste in women. Intrigued enough to consider dropping his self-imposed six-month break from women. He was used to women falling at his feet, but there was a vulnerability to his neighbor he didn’t usually see in the women who came on to him, and he was intrigued. He let out a loud sigh and went back inside, casserole dish in hand. He was still standing in the same spot-grinning like a damn fool-when he heard her door slam. He couldn’t help noticing the way her jean shorts clung to the curve of her ass. Kevin watched the cute blonde run back to her house next door, tripping on a tree root on the way.
