It didn’t take long to put everything away, especially with Lucas watching carefully. Before I knew it, I stood among the long tables Vincent had set up on the lawn. Milo had just finished setting out all his dishes, and Cody was lighting the torches that had been shoved into the ground around the perimeter. Coupled with the bonfire behind me, the lanterns hanging off the deck and placed on the tables, and the glowing house in front of me, the entire yard was transformed into something gorgeous.
For a long moment, I took it all in and then moved toward the beverage table, wanting a real beer, some of Milo’s amazing food, and to just relax. Tomorrow I would be heading home; I wanted to soak in everything. I needed to capture this in my memory while I could.
