Gaze Quote by Micalea Smeltzer
““Looks like I’ve found myself a handy man,” I smiled. “Oh yeah,” he grinned, “I’m as handy as they come.” “I can see it now,” I fantasized, “leaky faucets, fixing lights, painting walls.” Caeden’s laugh filled the woodshop classroom. “And let me guess, you’re not going to help me, you’ll just watch.” “It’s what I do best,” I laughed. Caeden stood the cabinet upright and grabbed some trim pieces for detailing. “That’s okay, at least I’ll have something pretty to look at,” he winked. “And I’ll always be there to hand you tools,” I said. “Just not the power ones,” he grinned crookedly.””
