was gravelled over with tall weeds growing through in most spots, but since
it was surrounded by a tall chain link fence, it also had potential as a small
park for the dogs.
Christina knew that Taylor only informed over, over email, about the
appointment to see the property, because she’d been instructed to do so.
Taylor seemed too nice to go rogue on anyone. She’d signed the proposal

she noticed. Taylor’s sandy hair was tucked up into another messy bun. She
had no makeup on, but the sun shone down at just the right angle, like a soft
