“I guess that’s a good thing with cameras in my house, but is there a chance that I could have a monitor here that would let me see live what’s on the cameras?”
“We do have that capability but I don’t have any of that equipment with me today. I’ll talk to my partner and can get back with you tomorrow if that’s okay?”
“That would be great, thank you. I’m going to go unpack more boxes but if you need anything, just come in and yell for me.”
“Will do, thank you Miss Devore.”
“Please call me Brooklyn. Miss Devore makes me feel old.”
He smiled and tipped his hat in her direction, then scurried out the front door. If he didn’t get busy, he’d want to stay around her all day. Heck he’d never get anything done.
He worked for a couple hours and managed to install multiple cameras in concealed places surrounding the house Brooklyn bought. He also put in a call to his partner regarding her request for a monitor in her house connected to the cameras. While he was talking to Dane, Brooklyn came outside.
“Hey, are you hungry?”
“No, I’m good, thank you though.”
He waved her off quietly so his buddy didn’t hear him. But she didn’t walk away. Her stare became increasingly intense.
“Hey buddy, I need to get this job finished, I’ll check in later.”
He didn’t wait for a response, hung up and slid the phone in his front pocket.
“Sorry about that.”
“Would you like to stay for dinner? I have two steaks thawed and I can’t eat both.”
“I really shouldn’t…”
“I insist.”
“Well, okay then, who am I to refuse a good steak.”
“Come on in. I’ll get the potatoes started. Do you like baked?”
“I like anything.”
He followed her inside, aiming his control at the truck to lock it, clicking the horn.
“That’s easy then.”
She closed the door once he was in the house.
“Hey, the place is really looking good, much different even from a few hours ago.”
“Yeah I really wanted to get things done. Moving is my least favorite thing. Hey, any chance you know how to start a gas grill?”
She held up the grill utensils and the pan of steaks.
“Yeah I can do that. Do you want me to cook the meat too?”
“If it’s not too much to ask? I’m not very good at grilling.”
“No problem. I’ve got this.”
He took the pan of steaks form her grasp and laid them back on the counter in the kitchen.
“I’ll come back for those after the grill is warm.”
