“The boss being your mother.”
“You got that. Anna said you’re redoing her website.”
“I’m working on a design I hope she likes.” She walked upstairs with him. “I networked with the printer in Collin’s office to get started, but that’s not really practical day-to-day. It’s helpful to print out some of the design, add it to my mood board.”
“Mood board.” Then he nodded when he walked in, saw hers. “Okay, I get it. That’s a major change for Anna.”
“Too much?”
“I like it, if that matters.”
He hooked his thumbs in his front pockets and studied the board.
Really studied, Sonya noted. Took time.
“Yeah, I like it. She had a college friend do most of the one she’s got now. It didn’t have much, ah, bang, I guess, and was a pain in the ass to load and navigate. This looks like it’ll have the bang.”
“It’ll also be quick to load, easy to navigate.”
They stood, elbow to elbow, studying her work.
“Is this a logo? She doesn’t have an actual logo.”
“She should. That’s one option for it. She wants simple, so I thought a sketch of a vase and candle holder, strong colors. Different shapes,but both her style. I thought a sketch rather than a photo, but we can try that, too.”
“You’ve gotten a lot done in a short time.” He glanced around. “This is a good setup for you. You don’t want the printer down here? Easy access?”
“See that thing?” She pointed to it. “Efficient but unattractive. This room’s too wonderful to have that monster sitting here. There’s a cabinet upstairs.”
“Yeah, DVD cabinet. We’ll haul it up.”
He started to lift it, shot her a look that made a laugh tickle her throat.
“I said monster. Look, it can wait. Maybe I can get John Dee to help you haul it up sometime.”
“Now you’re impugning my manhood.”
He took off his coat, tossed it on her chair.
No flannel shirt this time, but a navy sweater and black trousers.
She actually gripped her hands together when he picked it up.
“It’s so heavy. We really can wait until—”
“I’ve got it.”
When he hauled it up the stairs, she followed him.
“Which side?”
“The left.” She rushed to open it. “Everything else is on the other side now, and the power strip’s right there. God, thank you.”
“Let me plug it in. I’m down here anyway.”
While he did, she glanced over at the couch. The throw, folded, draped over the back.
“Want it on?”
