Love is a Battlefield
-- EXCERPT: Something is definitely up. Brogan interrupts his mom, “Where are you thinking about setting up a glamping site?” “We have those old cabins up near the fishing cabin. I thought that would be the ideal place,” she tells him. He visibly jolts. “No one has stayed in those in years. At this point they’re probably more shack than cabin.” “That’s why I want to do something with them now. I thought Addie could check them out and get a feel for what we’d need to do to make them worthy of the glamping title.” She’s got to be kidding! Before I can express my shock, Brogan lets out a great big boisterous that’s-the-most-ridiculous- thing-I’ve-ever-heard-of laugh. He sounds borderline hysterical. “What are you laughing at?” I demand. ‘I just can’t see you being interested in a project like this, that’s all.” “I’ve decorated resorts that specialize in all kinds of different things.” “Don’t be rude, Brogan,” Ruby admonishes her son. “Addison is an accomplished young woman known the world over for her innovative designs.” “I’m sure,” he says. “But she’s known for fancy five-star designs, not something like this.” “Are you saying I can’t do it?” More than anything this gets my dander up. I am first and foremost a professional. “How about a little wager?” I ask him. “I’m game if you are. I bet you can’t spend a week up there without running home to New York.” I never said anything about staying up there. But instead of pointing that out, I knowingly and ill-advisedly declare, “I could do that in my sleep. In fact,” —and here’s where I totally lose my mind— “I raise your week to a month. What do you think about that?”
