“Do you need to take him for a walk?”


“Nah, I think he’s good. I’ve put in a doggy door now so he can go do his business in the backyard when I’m not around. I’ll take him for a walk in the morning.”


Chris looked around. “I do like what you’ve done so far to the place. It’s cool that Galaxy wants to help you.”


“Yeah it is. You want coffee or something?”


Ryan went into the kitchen and started making a pot of coffee. Chris leaned a hip against the counter nearby.


“I can’t believe your dad built this place. It’s so amazing. It looks like an authentic house from the Victorian era.”


“According to my grandparents, he loved to build things and this was my mom’s ultimate dream home.” Ryan scooped out coffee into the filter. “My grandmother said she wanted to turn the place into a bed and breakfast place someday. She never got the chance.”


“You don’t remember them much, huh?”
