Ormand sighed, figuring that she probably wasn’t listening.
Too damn bad, I’m not repeating myself later. Let her get lost for all I care. He had been away from his work too long; all this social interaction was starting to make him grouchy. Not that he was peaches and cream usually, but still.
”Yes, I have an entire wing devoted to a garage. I take it you want to see it?” Knowing the answer without her having to speak, he headed back down the staircase, heading off towards the east with the ease of someone who had lived in the house all of his life.
”As for the libraries…” He added, throwing her a skeptic look on purpose,
”You know how to read?” He asked in an innocent voice. He had no doubt she could, though it did surprise him that she had the desire too.
So she’s more then a grease monkey. He made the mental note, ignoring the faint feeling of appreciation rising in him.
Taking a ring of keys out of his pocket, he selected the right one among a slew of others that appeared identical and opened the door. The entire room was filled from wall to wall with dozens of cars, some from every decade since the 1890’s, in all shades and hues imaginable. Along the walls were tools and equipment to do just about anything to any type of car. 1930’s
Ford sat next to a 1970
GTO. Nearby a 1969
Mustang sat nestled between a 1950’s
Chevy truck and a 2008
Ferrari.
Ormand stepped back and watched Sphynx’s expression carefully. Despite himself, he hoped she would like it- the wrench on her collar had suggested she might. No one had used this room since his father had died; Ormand continued to add cars since he rather enjoyed going out for midnight drives in a ridiculously expensive and very well-taken care of car, but he didn’t spend time in here like his father had.
