Rosie: Do you have any pictures of the house? So, I can get an idea of the scale of the project for my calendar.

Daniel: *inserts real estate link*

I open the link and I’m speechless. This is the cottage he bought as a weekender. It is a six-bedroom, six-bathroom, 5000-square-foot, contemporary updated arts and craft style home, the outside is black and white with bricks. It’s stunning. There’s a pool, tennis court, gym, spa, and extensive gardens on five acres. Inside has a masculine palette with black and white tones mixed with stone, wood, and glass. I’m dying, this house is a dream.

Rosie: Are you serious? This is the cottage you bought as a weekender?

Daniel: You don’t like it?

Rosie: No. I love it.

Rosie: Love it!

Daniel: I’m glad you like it. I do too. I needed something close to the city but far enough to escape.

Rosie: I totally understand. It’s stunning. Breathtaking.

Daniel: Love the enthusiasm.

Daniel: Knew you would be the right person for the job.

Rosie: Oh, I’m one hundred percent the right person for the job.

Daniel: Did you want to catch up this week and talk about it?

Rosie: Sure. Let me check my schedule and get back to you. Is that okay?

Daniel: Of course.

Rosie: Thank you so much for trusting me with this.

Rosie: I take back all the things I said about you.

Daniel: You said things about me?

Rosie: I said most of the things to your face.

Daniel: That you did.

Rosie: I’ll be in touch when I get back from my trip.

Daniel: You’re going away.

Rosie: Yes.

Daniel: Where?

Rosie: Seeing family for the weekend.

I don’t know why I lied to him. Guess I didn’t want to explain the girl’s trip to Paris.

Daniel: Have fun. I’ll be away, too, checking in on the Paris office.

He’s going to Paris, too. Shit. Hope I don’t run into him. No. There’s no way in this world I will.

Rosie: Have fun, night.

Daniel: You too, night, Rosie.
