exists.”
    “What is that wall? And how will you get to your house without a pathway or gate?” Andreas was almost certain he’d never been over here before.
    “The old air conditioning units used to be attached to it, but the mall is temperature controlled by a much more modern system now. And I don’t know yet but my plan is that most people won’t think to go past the roof garden or the wolf run trail. Especially if my home is not easily visible. Now, where do you want to put up your tent?”
    Andreas patted Lewis on the shoulder. “In the future I hope we three get plenty of use out of your home, so perhaps we should pitch the tent there. Lay claim to the land as it were.”
    Lewis helped him set up the tent and it was completely hidden behind the wall. Of course a house would be taller. They had to be able to stand up and walk around in it, but it didn’t have to be particularly high, and they could easily have trees big enough to hide the roof line. “I think your plan will work. You’ll need some bigger trees, but yes, it’s workable.”
    “The trees will grow but their growth will be limited by the winds across the roof in winter. I was thinking of not getting them enormously high. Bigger trees will be more expensive as well. But what I could do is have the pots on stands so they hide the house, and as the trees do grow, instead of risking their tops getting burnt off by exposure, I simply lower the stands until they’re eventually resting on the ground and still tall enough to cover the roof line.”
    “That’s a damn good idea. You really have thought about it a lot.”
    Andreas was filled with pride for his friend. Lewis would build a truly amazing roof garden. He was confident of that. And they’d have a nice little retreat up here where they could make love under the stars in the summer, and under a glass roof in less clement weather.
    “I suppose we’ll have to stay in my apartment in winter. I don’t spend much time there so likely you and Dakota will need to renovate it somewhat. But we can work all that out later. When are you going to start building your house?”
    “I’ll do it simultaneously with the roof garden and running track. That way it won’t be so obvious what’s happening, I hope. Everyone will just think it’s part of the garden.”
    “Good point.”
    Lewis walked him back to the elevator and swiped the door for him, and Andreas went back to the fitness center. After tonight Dakota would be on the midnight to eight shift, which was going to make it hard for them to spend time together. By the time she came off shift she’d be tired, and he should be at work already, yet they couldn’t spend too much time together before she went on shift as they didn’t want to wake her up too soon or exhaust her before her working day. At least they had tonight though. Tonight they would make love to her under the stars and explain how very much she meant to them both.

    Lewis stayed up on the roof for the rest of the day, taking measurements and making detailed plans. He’d now almost filled a sketchpad with meticulous designs of every garden bed, and of the winding path the running track would take. It would split in two with an optional “obstacles” loop for the wolves or those runners who were feeling more energetic. There were some long straight stretches almost the full length of the roof, and some chicanes, S bends, and tight corners as well as the obstacles, which were mostly going to be rows of plants in pots and a few low fences to jump over. It wouldn’t be a complete workout, of course, but that was what the fitness center was there for. It would be an opportunity to run outdoors though, and the more energetic males could always go around the circuit three or four times if they felt it was too short to use up all their excess energy.
    He wondered if his chicanes and S bends were a bit tight for a human runner, so he drew them in chalk on the concrete
