“I’ll try.”
The truth is that I hate going back to Clearwater. There’s nothing but bad memories there. Luckily for me, Bishop knows that and rarely pushes.
I hear a girl's voice in the background and my eyebrows raise. Bishop has as much interest in women as I do, but I don’t hear any construction sounds in the background so that means that he’s at home right now. And there’s a girl there.
Interesting.
“Who is that?” I ask and he clears his throat.
“Alba. She’s my new housekeeper.”
“You don’t have a housekeeper. You hate people,” I remind him and he grunts again.
“Yeah, well, I do now.”
“Is your new housekeeper single.”
“Shut it, Fisher.”
“So that’s a yes.”
“No, she’s not. Not anymore.”
“Uh huh, and does she know that?” I ask.
I can picture him blushing right now.
“Not yet, but she will soon,” he promises and I grin.
“Good luck with that.”
He sighs and I smile. Bishop has been my best friend forever and I know him better than he knows himself sometimes. I’ve never seen Bishop into someone before though.
“I’ll let you get back to work,” he tells me and I laugh.
“I’m here if you need any advice.”
“What advice could you give me? You’ve been single just as long as I have,” he whisper hisses at me and I know that this Alba must be close by.
“I know things,” I tell him and he barks out a laugh.
“Liar.”
I grin and I know that he’s doing the same. I’ve missed this. I should call him more often.
Maybe I will go up to Clearwater to see him.
“I’ll talk to you later,” he says and then he hangs up.
I laugh, tossing my phone onto the bed and wandering over to the window to look out at the town.
For a moment, I have doubts about opening a resort here. If there’s no one coming through, then it’s possible that this next resort of mine will be a flop.
Doubt and something akin to fear settles in my gut, but I push it aside. I’m good at what I do. I’m successful and smart. I won’t fail.
Studies show that this town is poised to be one of the next big tourist destinations. There are a ton of hiking trails, fishing spots, and lakes nearby, along with scenic views and drives. The thing that really drew me to this place is the wolf sanctuary that this town was named for. I know that if we can market it in the right way, it will draw people to town. People will flock here to relax, reconnect with nature, and slow down a bit. It just needs a little help, and I’m going to be the one to get it there.
Now I just need to find the perfect spot for my resort.
