Cole was at his office. The contractor had been working through the week and I'd been checking in remotely whenever anything needed a decision. But I wanted to see it properly before I signed off on anything.

Not too dark. Not too cool. It sat against the warm cream of the other walls the way I'd known it would and the room had changed completely because of it.
Diane stopped beside me.
