started talking about the gothic revival house that Lindsey
and he had found along an overgrown section of Route 30. As
he told Abigail about it in detail, describing how he had
realized he wanted to propose to Lindsey and live there with
her, Ray found himself asking, "Does it have a big hole in
the ceiling of the back room and cool windows above the
front door?"

Everyone was quiet for a moment and then Ray continued.
"He took out a loan on his business to buy up old

to restore them," Ray said.
"My God," Samuel said.
And I was gone.
