“I’ve disposed of the furniture, hired the house cleaners and painters, sold my car to one of the packers, signed my end of the paperwork, left the routing numbers for my account with the closing agent and packed my bags. I can be there in three days.”
“Helen! How in God’s name did you manage all that so fast?”
“I had very efficient help and have moved into a hotel. The buyers are in a hurry, had a walkthrough today and want to close as soon as the title office is ready. If anything is upset in the next couple of weeks I guess I’ll fly back here to straighten it out, but I have no business here. I’m going to have to buy a new car when I get there...”
Leigh laughed. “You are amazing. How do you do it?”
“There is no one to do it for me or to argue with me about my process. Therefore, I get it done. I’ll be there Saturday afternoon. Is that all right?”
Leigh just laughed. “Of course.” And she thought she would either explain to Rob that something came up or she would ask if Helen could be included on their date. “I can’t wait to see you.”
“Shall I arrange for a rental car?”
“I’m off this weekend. I’ll come to get you. Will you be flying to Denver?”
“Yes, please. I have quite a load this time. I might have to make your house my base, taking over your guest room. How do you feel about that?”
She felt all warm and lovely inside. “Nothing could make me happier, Auntie.”
“Wonderful! I promise not to get underfoot.”
Whatever words we utter should be chosen
with care for people will hear them and be
influenced by them for good or ill.
