He sighed, "I think so. There are lots of little pieces here."

"Good." I smiled a little as his face fall. "I mean, I have a couple of errands to run. Brother Cole, can I borrow Caleb?"

"Sure, he's worked hard. An afternoon with a lovely lady would be just right." Brother Cole winked at me and Caleb jumped up dusting sawdust off.

I walked a couple of steps forward and I placed a kiss on Mark's forehead. It earned me a sunny smile from him and a cocked eyebrow from Brother Cole. "You should open up the garage door," I suggested. "That glue smells strong."

I found them under the heap of papers on the table. Yelling down to Caleb that I would meet him at the truck, I headed back to the garage. I overheard Mark and his dad talking as I neared the garage. "That's great son, how do you want to handle it?"

There was a pause and then Mark's voice sighed, "I guess I will break in the new tent."

"Okay, I will help you set it up in a little while." Brother Cole was grinning as I entered the garage, carrying my purse and Mark's keys.
