@bekkasan This is my face when I see a new story post from you: :smiley:
I can only imagine how cold it got that first night in the house for Damien (I kinda can knowing how cold it gets here at night in the winter!), but his warm oatmeal breakfast I'm sure hit the spot and it sounded delicious! :yum: Makes me want some!
Yes! Get rid of those cobwebs!
Seeing those pics of him scrubbing the floor makes me cringe. :neutral: That would be such a pain!!
I don't doubt it would cost a TON to renovate this place so I'm glad he's getting back to being the best PI ever. :smirk: <3
By the end of the day, the foundation of the front porch and in the house is repaired. The contractor patches the floor with matching patterns, but with fresh stain.
^I love how you illustrated that little detail in your pictures. :) :star: I can't wait to see the whole floor looking like that. It's gonna be gorgeous! (Or wait, Damien is not sure if he would prefer that. :lol: Well, whatever he chooses, I'm sure it will look just as pretty. :) ) And yes, not falling into those holes in the night is a plus!!
Can't say I blame the Supervisor for not wanting to do things in the attic ONE bit! Damien be like, "Whatevs! I'll get to it later."
*Grumble - these silly people and their fear of ghosts - grumble - making me do all the dirty work - grumble.* :lol: ;)
The house is looking good already! ? New windows are always a plus and those stained glass ones are SO pretty! :love:
What?? Mary has a
spell in place to avoid being discovered!? :open_mouth: (If I missed that somehow earlier, forgive me. :( ) Interesting...
Pretty little memorial statue...even if it looks a little creepy among the brambles. :p
Yay Damien ditched the gnomes! :mrgreen: I hope that keeps the other ghosts away...
Gosh I'm melting over his adorable smile in this picture:

Rainbow among the falling snow! :smiley:
Mary is waiting outside the back door. She is trembling and not with the cold this time. She is trembling in anticipation.
^Love how you wrote that!
He is not wanted, she says? Hmmmmm..... :smirk:

I'm so excited to read this next part! :mrgreen:
What!? She trashed his place! :open_mouth: Wow... I thought she found him cute. I wasn't expecting this. ;)
Dang! Clever chica she is...throwing his clothes under the open windows so they get snowed on and wet. Naughty! :naughty:
(How'd you get a snow pile in the house like that? )
Sorry to disappoint Mary, but Damien bought this house and intends to restore it - he paid so much to do that already - and he's not leaving...
I like that you illustrated him as a hard worker. :star: The kind of man every woman wants. :blush:
It was sweet of Mary to feel a little remorse to the point that she went downstairs to clean up a bit. :)
"If any ghost is still in my house be warned. You are not scaring me away. I've waited a long time to solve the mystery of Mary Kendall and Spring Manor. I'm not leaving! Deal with it!"
^Oooooh! I hope Mary heard his thought - if Ghosts can in this story. ;) Cause then maybe her heart would go out to him because he wants to solve her case! <3
Poor sad sexy Damien face. :cry:
Oh yay she DID hear what he thought!!! :smiley: Awesome!
Sherlock! :joy: I love it!
Oh wow...so she still doesn't want him around...or even solving her mystery? This is surprising indeed lady and I LOVE it! :smiley: MORE please!!!
This story reminds me of one of my favorite books, only the genders are reversed, and the story is similar. It's titled "Haunts Haven," by Joan Sowards if you feel like looking it up. I'm not sure if it's out of print or if she's still selling them...I am friends with her daughter. :)
I can't wait to see where you go with this! :mrgreen:
