He knew he shouldn’t tinker with the plumbing, fixing some and loosening some.
Was there another way to see her.
“I might engage another for our plumbing. This is the third call in two months.”
“Hmmm ….”
Setting the teacup down he continued, “There must be tradesmen who prohibit employees from indulging in lofty dreams above their station.”
Drakes’ spine stiffened.
There was no doubt what he had to do. He won’t cost Mr Harrison a reliable albeit pompous customer.
His heart warm as a fired-up engine, will learn to cool again.
Abject poverty was no friend of blossoming love.

Coming in to fix the plumbing was his one way of seeing her even if just to say hello. Or glimpse a smile.
Thanks Neil.

He’s got a good heart, but he needs to learn to be a little more assertive or the world is going to walk all over him. I hope she notices him and they run away together.
