Chapter 1


Frankie Wilson leaned back in his chair and peered up at his daughter. “I’m getting too old for this, sweetheart.”
Suzie offered him a small smile and shifted from one foot to the other. “We’ve had this conversation before, Dad.”
Her dad ran a hand through his hair and stared up at the ceiling. “Yes, but I can feel it in my bones this time.”
Suzie’s smile grew wider. “You’ve said that before too. Planning your next retirement party will help chase that feeling away.”
And if not, there was always the chance that staying at home would.
Over the past ten years, she had lost track of how many times her dad had announced he was stepping back from the family business. Everyone in Wilson Realty knew Frankie Wilson was as much a part of the foundation of the building as anything else, and no one knew how to picture keeping the place going without him.
Not even his daughter.
Still, she supposed, someday, he was going to hand over the reins to her brother, and the thought left her with a pit in her stomach.
Especially with her aunt, Heather, and uncle, Ed, having announced their retirement a year prior, after a health scare had left them both shaken up.
Handing over the reins to the Falmouth branch of Wilson Realty had seemed like the most natural thing in the world, and her father was tailor-made for the role.
At least that’s how she felt.
And it wasn’t as if his impending retirement had come as a shock to anyone.
Her brother was as good a person as any to run the Falmouth branch.
It wasn’t as if Jonathan wasn’t qualified, having worked at Wilson Realty for three years longer than she had, but when it came to business, her brother’s eyes were always on the prize. He spent more time talking about mergers and expansions than he did about the actual work, and she was afraid when it came to the future, Wilson Realty was on the edge of a precipice, one that would either lead to their downfall or glory.
Suzie was almost certain it was the former and not the latter.
Slowly, her father rose to his feet and stretched his arms over his head, his gray button-down tightening over his stomach. With a grunt, he bent down to touch his toes, and Suzie tried not to stare at the streaks of silver in his hair, which were only growing more and more prominent. Although her father had slowed down in recent years, she still preferred to think of him as the mighty titan he was, larger than life and unstoppable.
After straightening, he offered her a quick smile and plucked the folder out of her hands. “Why don’t I take care of this tomorrow? It’s late. You should go home.”
“I still have a few listings to go over.” Suzie paused to run a hand down the front of her shirt, smoothing out the wrinkles. “But I can give you a ride if you want.”
Her father stepped out from behind his desk and waved her comment away. “I’ll walk. The weather is too nice to be cooped up in a car.”
Whistling under his breath, he paused in the doorway to wait for her.
After a brief pause, Suzie ducked out after him, pausing to flick the lights off on her way out. Then, her father dropped a kiss on top of her head, strolled down the hallway, past rows of empty offices, and stopped in front of the elevator. With a wave and a smile, he disappeared behind the sliding doors, leaving Suzie alone to her own devices.
What would happen to the Falmouth branch of Wilson Realty without the head Wilson himself?
She couldn’t even imagine her father staying at home most days, tinkering with his toys or taking up gardening, no matter how hard she tried.
Sighing, Suzie pressed two fingers to the back of her neck and rubbed at the tightness there. With one last look around the empty office, she pivoted on her heel and walked down the hallway to her office. Her hand was on the knob when she heard Jonathan’s voice waft over to her from a few doors down.
Frowning, she glanced up at the clock on the wall, which showed her it was eight o’clock.
