Marishka gazed up at the weathered structure, technicolor shades turning away as she handed off a small wad of cash to a waiting driver. “Remind me again why you decided to spend your inheritance on this place?” When she’d agreed to come she hadn’t known what to expect, but it certainly wasn’t this considering she didn’t exactly peg her companion as a HGTV house flipper.
