“What’s that?”
“That you’re in charge of overseeing the project.”Remington takes my hand.“It’s your vision.Of course, we’re all here to help, but we want this to be your project.And once it’s built and underway, you’ll be the CEO of that business.”
Stunned, my mouth opens and closes, but no sound comes out because I’m not sure what in the hell to say to that.
“Again, we can help,” Millie adds.“And you’ll hire staff.”
“But my whole job here is to take care of the kids.”I frown over at Remington.“They’re a full-time job.”
“It’s going to take a while for the construction of it—the landscaping, hardscaping, everything.Likely at least a year, maybe more.The kids are in school most of the year, remember?”He smiles over at me.“You won’t be bored, that’s for sure.”
“Think about it,” John says kindly.“You don’t have to jump in right this minute.Give it some thought.”
“You’ll have a whole family here to help you,” Joy reminds me with a wink.
“Wow.”I take a deep breath and let it out slowly.“I’ll admit, it sounds like such a fun project.I’d love to do it, but I have no experience in anything like this.I have lots of family who do, and I know I could consult with them, but this is way out of my comfort zone.”
“Comfort zones are lame,” Brady says with a grin.“I figure, to get experience, you have to jump in and figure it out.”
“Like I said,” John adds, “give it some thought.Now, I’d like to go check out that new horse.”
They all get up and go off to play with the kids or check out the horse, and I’m left alone with Remington.
“I don’t know if I’m really the person you’d want for that big of a project.”
He calmly reaches over to tuck my hair behind my ear.“I think that you need to start giving yourself more credit.But if you don’t want to do it, no harm, no foul.”
“Who am I kidding?I want to do it.”
He grins over at me.“I figured you might.”
“Wake up, Doc.”Remington’s voice is smooth and sexy in my ear, lifting me out of the hardest, most delicious sleep ever.“I have to show you something.”
“Time is it?”
“It’s early, but I need to show you something.Come on.”
Yesterday was exhausting.Who knew that a kid’s party could take it completely out of you?I feel like I could sleep for a week.
“Do I have time to pee and brush my teeth?”I ask as I push my hair off of my face.
“Absolutely,” he says and steps away from my bed.“I’ll meet you in the kitchen.”
“Oh, one more thing.”I grab his shirt before he can pull out of arm’s reach.“I love you.”
His lips curve in that staggering smile.“Back at you, Doc.Come on.Let’s go.You won’t want to miss this.”
I stretch and then pad into the bathroom to take care of business.Once I’m dressed, I find Remington in the kitchen.
He passes me a to-go tumbler of coffee.
“Are we going somewhere?”
“I can’t get anything past you,” he says with a wink and takes my hand.“Come on.I’m not telling you where we’re going.It’s a surprise.”
He doesn’t have to tell me.We’re going to the special spot with the view of the mountains.I don’t know how I know it.I just do.
And I’m not wrong.
