Finally, the building permit had come through and it had only set him back five days. In that time he’d stayed busy working on various odd jobs and had started new projects where he’d placed Nathan in charge of the crew. This Sunset Lake property was going to take the majority of his time. He intended to focus on this project until it was complete. At that point he truly had no clue what to do, no idea how to run a spa/resort for women. Yeah, definitely an area where he’d need Sophie’s expertise. The only interaction he’d had with Sophie was via text, setting up a time to meet in her office to officially put his house on the market. That appointment was later today, and he was torn up just thinking about it. Between being alone with her again and putting the only haven he’d ever known on the market . . . he just hoped he made it through the meeting. Had he seriously admitted to her that he was ready to try something? What had he been thinking? What if he couldn’t? There were so many issues he had, so much darkness inside him, he seriously was afraid of taking another step with Sophie.
