Toulouse's house had burned down.
This was, of course, not as severe as it might sound. After all, Toulouse had multiple houses. (The Nook, the Bonfamille manor, his father's house in Paris, his property in the farmlands.) And it had not been his home that had burned.
He was rankled, however, because Sophie had done such a lovely job sprucing up the place. And now he was assisting her fees to relocate. Which he was able to do, but he wasn't necessarily happy about it.
The whole thing was a hassle, especially on top of both his spouses rapidly losing all sorts of income.
Still, it could not just lay rotting. The site needed to be cleared or it was going to be deemed a hazard. And he needed to decide what to do with it. Sell the property? Rebuild it and then sell?
Today, he was meeting a contractor to get a quote on just clearing out everything that wasn't salvageable. Some of the walls and foundation were still standing, so he hoped it wasn't a complete loss.
When he arrived, it was to find someone else already there. Which was odd, considering Lou was several minutes ahead of the contractor. The wind changed as he approached and the wolf in his chest growled softly.
Another wolf.
Why was Swynlake crawling with them recently?
"Can I help you?" Lou called across the lawn, voice not nearly as welcoming as the words sounded.
