Cole brought it up on Tuesday while they were looking at the kitchen tile laid out on the studio table.
“Change orders are piling up,” he said. “Next phase too. Easier to go through it once, sitting down, than shouting over a saw. Dinner tomorrow. The place on the corner does a decent steak.”
It was work. She said yes because it was work.
She told herself that again while she dressed. The grey suit she wore when she needed a room to take her seriously. White shirt, one more button done up than she would have left open in Toronto, gold at her ears, the black heels that still made her stand as if she owned the floor. In the mirror it read as a business dinner. Clean. Contained. She picked up the folder of change orders and walked to the restaurant so she would not have to get in his truck looking like this.
He was already there. Clean shirt, the same contained ease he had on site. He stood when she came in. Whatever she thought the suit said, that was not what he saw. He saw her. Attractive. Confident. A woman he wanted and had already said so. The look was brief and then he put it away, but she had caught it.
The table was in the window. A few people from town glanced over and glanced away. Emily sat, opened the folder, and made a point of the change orders first.
They got through them. The extra blocking in the kitchen. The decision to keep the china cabinet where it was. Timing on the second-floor bath. He had the numbers in his head. She had the finishes. It was a good working conversation.
Then the folder closed and the wine was still in the glasses.
He asked about Sophia without making it a performance. Emily told him about the last visit, the granddaughter who had started school, the way Vancouver made her daughter sound busier than she had ever sounded in Toronto. He asked what she missed about the city and what she did not. She found herself answering honestly. The restaurants. Certain streets at night. Not the pace. Not the version of herself that had said yes to every client because saying no had felt like losing ground.
