What is happening with the fountain?
They're going to change it up. A Cherub, maybe. You choose.
Medusa.
Bridg-
You told me to choose! That makes the most sense, honestly.
The fountain is getting a big upgrade. And they'll be removing the little pond altogether and just making it look like the rest. Perennials. Etc. etc. Work starts tomorrow because of course, ofc. ofc. Just delay someone else's project so you can pull a whole team and come harass Bridget and overcharge and just..GOD. I wish we could get a new contractor. Emmett is 'unavailable' (I love that word so much) and Ransom is weirdly free.
RIIIIIIIGHT.
Yes, so Medusa.
We'll discuss it. What if we got some koi-
No. Take the pond out, please. It should never have been there in the first place. No one was going to look after it.
Caleb looks so defeated. We're trying to make this a paradise for you, Neamhchiontach. When you are happy, we'll be happy.
I thaw a tiny bit. I liked it before.
It was muddy and deteriorating pavement.
I know. Now it's just so...sterile.
Your input is what makes it less so. He's so gentle with his words.
The fountain is ridiculous. What if we take it out?
And put in?
An apple tree with a swing and a garden of flowers around it. Some more lampposts.
Done.
Oh, thank God.
You hate the fountain that much?
It looks like when you drive up to a hotel. It's dumb looking. I want a home, not a house.
I start coughing again and he says that's enough for now and heads off to make hot chocolate for me. It's like a bottomless cup.
He returns in five minutes with a cup on a plate and some cut up apples. Good, I wasn't about to indulge you with the Medusa anyway.
