put the windows in and insulate and then they’ll knock the wall out to allow the access. I have the plans on the table in the dining room. Do you want to see them?”
Both women nodded and Danny walked them into the dining room. They looked at the plans and he pointed out where they were standing and where the additional bedroom and bathroom would be. Molly immediately started snapping pictures of the plans; some up close, some from farther away. She snapped pictures of Danny and Tammy looking at the plans. She walked around and snapped pictures of the living room from this view. The constant click of her camera was all that was heard for a while.
“Does she always do that?” Danny asked, in a lowered voice to Tammy.
Tammy smirked. “Yeah. It’s her thing. You’ll get used to her. She does have a good eye and she just loves this stuff.”
Molly heard them and blushed a little. “I’ll make sure you get the digitals. You can do what you like with them, but it’ll be pretty cool to see the ‘before’ and ‘after.’ Sometimes after a while, you forget what things looked like before. I’ve painted and worked on my house, not to this degree, but, months and years later when I come across the pictures, I’m still amazed at what it looked like. It’s what hooked me on photography in the first place. It’s a beautiful way to memorialize the past.”
Danny nodded. “Yeah, I was just looking at pictures of myself graduating from boot camp. Back when I had two legs. It’s bittersweet.”
Tammy looked at Danny. Yeah, she supposed that would be bittersweet. Poor guy.
“Sometimes it can be. We can’t always control it, but change happens every day. By the way, thank you for your service. It’s appreciated more than you’ll ever know.” Tammy smiled at Danny.
Danny nodded.
“Hey, we’re going to head out and grab a bite to eat. Would you like to join us?” Tammy asked.
Danny looked into Tammy’s beautiful brown eyes. She was petite with long, sandy-brown hair, and she was HOT. He hadn’t dated since he had lost his leg. He didn’t think any woman would want to have anything to do with him with only one leg. But…Tammy seemed interested.
He swallowed. “Nah. Thanks, but I think this’ll be a very full weekend. I have a few things to do around here before tomorrow. I appreciate the offer.”
“If you change your mind, we’re going to Nicki’s in De Pere. Please feel free to stop in. I’ll buy you a beer.” Tammy flashed her brightest smile. Danny swallowed again and cocked his head at her. She was flirting with him! That hadn’t happened in months.
They left Danny’s house and headed to Nicki’s to eat.
“So? What did you think?” Tammy was looking at Molly with a huge grin on her face.
“About?”
“About Danny. Pretty hot, isn’t he?”
Molly started laughing. “Do you have a crush on Danny? You so have to come to the build tomorrow. You can help me out by moving my stuff around and you can see him again. I think Joci and her sisters-in-law are bringing food and helping out where needed as well. Jeremiah won’t let Joci do much so, if nothing else, you can talk to her so she doesn’t get bored.”
“Okay. He seems sad … But, did you see the arms on him? His body? I bet he works out like crazy. He looks delicious.” Tammy fanned herself with her hand as they laughed and ordered their food. They ate as their friends wandered in to join them. They sat and talked and caught up on last weekend and Molly told them about her night at Ryder’s and the next day going for a bike ride with the group.
“There…see? You fretted over nothing and he was into you all the time, just shy.”
“Well, I haven’t heard from him all week. He did say he had a busy week, but I hoped for a call at least. Besides, I don’t want to be like my mom and, well, you know. So, I’m going to sit back and wait and see what happens. We do have a date tomorrow night.”
“God, Molly. Stop saying
