I was on my way to the airport, to meet with Duke.
For the last four days, Duke was telling me to get ready while giving me bits and pieces of a three days-long vacation he was planning for us, and other than how we are going somewhere warm, with a beach, I didn't know more.
Duke was keeping the mystery alive, and his excitement was contagious.
Since our visit to Duke's old home (aka the packhouse of the Bluemoon pack), the engineers came up with an estimate of the necessary work to fix up the building.
Duke was pleased that only the third floor will need structural work due to poor roof and a few broken windows that allowed rain, wind, and some critters to get inside and cause damage, while the rest of the work on the mansion will be more-less cosmetic.
