The agent was hiding somewhere – too terrified to interject – as the inspection continued while Deke leaned on the kitchen counter and awaited the verdict. “So, can it be fixed?” “Would probably be cheaper to pull it down and start again. There's a lot of water damage. The whole roof needs replacing - and the windows. New electrics, floors, doors. There's dry rot, woodworm. Fuck man, nothing here is salvageable. No way you can put this right on your budget.” Deke looked out of the window to where Emma was sitting on the fence at the end of the yard. For the first time since moving here, she looked genuinely happy. Shit. He was going to break her heart. “Fuck.” He straightened up and headed for the back door. “I guess I better go an' break the bad news to my ol' lady.” She looked up and her smile faded at the expression on his face as she slid from her perch and walked slowly towards him. “I want this house, Deke.”
