The Setup 💕

Chapter 4

Daisy is seated at her dining table working on her laptop with her work mail scattered on the table. A freshly showered Dan shirtless with sweatpants walked into the room with a towel drying his hair, is surprised to see Daisy still working.

"Honey, you can't still be working. The doctor said you should be resting." Dan expressed lovingly.

"If it helps. I'm semi-working." She said, smiling at him.

"Semi?" Dan repeated.

"I'm trying to come up with a new plan for William and Lillie." Said Daisy.

"Didn't you say she's seeing someone. You can't matchmake someone who's unavailable." Dan insisted as he continued to dry his hair.

"They are on a break. So, there is hope." Daisy said, thrilled.

She picked up a letter that was marked urgent with a date in red on the front. She opened the letter and began reading it. Dan rested the towel over his shoulders. Standing in front of the dinner table, he started clearing and moving all the mail to one side of the table.

"Honey, do you want anything from the kitchen?" Dan asked.

He waited for her to answer as he placed the last mail down. But she is too focused on a package she is reading.

"Daisy?" Dan said patiently.

"Yeah?" She replied as she slowly looked up at him.

"Do you want anything from the kitchen?" He repeated.

"Chocolate. Please!" Daisy replied.

Dan walked into the kitchen, getting the chocolate out of a jar from the counter. A very delighted Daisy screams. Dan nervously runs back into the dining room, holding a chocolate cookie in hand.

"What's wrong?" Dan asked.

"I think I got it." She replied.

"What?" A confused Dan asked.

"The perfect plan for Lillie and William. Would you pray with me."
He walked over, took a napkin from the napkin holder that was rested in the center of the table. He put the cookie on top of the napkin in front of her. She grabbed his hand, they both closed their eyes.

"Dear Lord, I know yesterday, when I last spoke to you, I sounded a little irritated and selfish, and I'm sorry." She said, apologetically.

Dan gently squeezed her hand for support.

"So, I'm asking for help with Will and Daisy? I know you have guided me and I still have hope, and I thank you. Please continue to guide me. And maybe have our beautiful, healthy baby boy out this month or so. And perhaps can you bless me tonight with a half lemon, half chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting? Amen!" She says.

"Amen!" Dan says, giving her a look.

"What?" She asked.

Dan leaned in, smiled and kissed her forehead.

Will, Dan, and Daisy exited their cars. They walked through the driveway of Will's new modern Texas style country home. Will unlocking and opening the front door for them, Daisy standing impatiently walked ahead of them entering the mud room and to the master bedroom, then into the connected Pavilion style transparent glass greenhouse meditation studio. Will and Dan walked into the furnished gym, then into Will's home office, and through the foyer. Daisy walking into the utility room, she looked inside the washer and dryer, the proceeded into the kitchen. She is amazed at how spacious and beautiful every room is. The kitchen which has an indoor/outdoor attached barbecue area is also connected to another extra large pavilion styled transparent glass greenhouse. With an extra high ceiling, furnished with a patio dining table set and scattered miniature eight to ten feet fruit trees in ginormous pots. At the very end of other-side of the long greenhouse is a glass wall that divides another room to an endless pool and lounge chairs area on the side. Dan entered to another connected room, a hydroponic room filled with veggies growing.
