In the three weeks that he’d been gone, lots of changes had taken place at the plantation. Construction equipment was spread out across the lawn, scaffolding had been erected against the walls of the house, and the old peeling green paint had been replaced by a rough-sanded look that was even worse. But Chase wasn’t the least unhappy about the plantation’s condition. It was progress. Progress toward a phenomenal ending. He couldn’t wait to see Kate. To tell her that he’d done it. Actually done it. As far-fetched as it had sounded at first, the wheels were in motion that would make his plan come true. Barely containing his excitement, Chase found a spot to park that looked safe enough under a tall crepe myrtle tree. He wanted to see Kate for another reason, too. He’d only managed a handful of calls while he’d been out of town. Twice he had actually reached Shelby instead of Kate. Now he needed to see Kate, to hear her voice, to touch her. On the drive down from Baton Rouge, it had belatedly hit him that not only hadn’t he told Kate his plan, but he also hadn’t told her he loved her.
