I look at the last line with a smile, and take another look. Just two more things. And I can send the stories to my agent today. She loved the sample shegot a few months ago, so I’m sure It’ll be a done deal.
But for the house… Prue is stubborn as shit about it.
No matter how much I push, she doesn’t want to hear anything about it. She says she can rent a one bedroom apartment and she doesn’t need to own anything.
It scares me. To think of her renting something, with the risk that someday something might happen and she would lose it and end up with nothing.
I can still change my will… She made me sign up all my money but 10% to medical research and charity. I could still change the amount and leave just a little more for her… But then, nothing will stop her if she decides to donate it all away.
Alright.
Ikram and I are going home searching today.
“What was wrong with that one?” Ikram grunts as we leave our parking spots, and I cross the address off my list.
“Really? Come on, she doesn’t need to see her neighbors when she looks out her windows. Orbe seen. She always needed her privacy.”
“You do know curtains are a thing, right?”
I roll my eyes. “Yes. But I know we can find better.”
“The sun is setting,” he sighs. “Let’s look again tomorrow, or—”
My heart rate picks up with a throbbing pain. “No,” I snap. “We still have time today. Let’s see a couple more.”
He gives me a worried look and I turn my face to look out the window. “Jack, baby… We’ve seen over ten houses today. None of them were good enough for you, and you’ve walked a lot, since you wouldn’t let me bring your chair. I know you’re not some weak little thing, and I’m not treating you like one, but you need to rest a little.”
