It takes several hours, but we get the cabin emptied and the floor finished before we pack it in for the night and head out.
Langford and Tucker show up with a couple of sets of bedroom furniture on the back of his truck as I shut the door.
“I’ve got the stuff Mom wanted out of the storage unit. We need to unload it and put it together,” he says.
“No can do. You’ll have to take it back along with what’s on the trailer hitched to the back of my truck,” I inform him.
“Why?”
“Because she made us resurface the floor. We can’t move anything back in for at least four days.”
He hangs his head. “She rushed me to get this out here. The woman has no concept of how long any of this stuff takes,” he complains.
“I know, but in all fairness, she has been trying to get us out here to do some of these things for years now.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“I’ll buy dinner,” I tell him.
“All right. Follow me, and we’ll take it all to my house and put it in the garage,” he suggests.
Langford lives just downriver, and it’s a lot closer than the storage unit or my house.
I do as he said.
He pulls his side-by-side out of the second bay of his garage and drives it under his back deck. Then, we carefully stack all the furniture in the space.
“Corbin called and said I owed him fifty bucks. You could have held out a little longer for me,” he says.
I shake my head. “I can’t believe you assholes were wagering on my love life.”
“We bet on everything. You know that,” he defends as he shuts the tailgate to his truck and closes the garage door. “I’m glad she’s sticking around. She’s good for you,” he says.
“I don’t know what will come of it, but I’m excited to get the chance to find out.”
“That’s a start,” he says. “Now, about dinner. Why don’t we order pizza delivery and open a couple of beers? I’ll fill you in on Corbin and Susanna’s latest drama.”
“Lead the way,” I tell him.
