Adam came strolling up to the front door of his rental early Monday morning, a happy grin on his face. After spending most of the day with Kylie yesterday, he'd gone back home and had been able to get the barn cleaned out, and had even started in on her car.
It wasn't nearly enough, of course, but with a to-do list a mile long, it was never enough. Even though he hadn't completed 1/100th of the must-do's on his list, after his mom's huge smile and hug when he'd unloaded all of the groceries, he'd still felt ten feet tall.
And now, he had a whole week to look forward to, where he got to see and work with Kylie every day of it. He couldn't squash the feeling that he'd been handed a gift; a rare and precious gift.
