“She’s right.”
No one expected that.
The truth came out.

“I don’t remember that.”
No one had been paying attention.

She looked confused, lost.

That part stayed with me the most.

“I can come by this afternoon.”
“I can come by this afternoon.”
She came.
“This will sell quickly.”
“This will sell quickly.”

“I’m here for a second opinion.”
“I’m here for a second opinion.”
The house sold fast.
Showings started almost immediately.
Showings started almost immediately.

They’d already gotten what they wanted. Money.
They’d already gotten what they wanted. Money.
