My fence’s off-hand comment about him buying broken things from her. “You’re fixing it all, aren’t you?” Brow low, mouth tight, he turned and glanced over the collection. He wrinkled his nose and sent a shadow to swipe dust off the grandfather clock’s face. “Trying to. But there are more broken things than I can keep up with.”
