It only took Samantha a few minutes to get freshened up for dinner with Harriette. A few minutes after she walked back out to the living area, there was a knock at the door. She answered it and wasn’t surprised to see Maggie standing on the other side, although she felt a slight skip in her heartbeat when the woman smiled at her. She didn’t get a chance to really say anything before Donna jumped in and started asking questions about the local shops.

Samantha wasn’t upset by the fact she wasn’t getting an opportunity to get a word in edgewise since being in the presence of the woman made it hard to speak in the first place. Maggie started walking them in the direction of the other side of the manor, and she was just as talkative as she had been earlier that day. Donna was the one who kept the conversation going with all the questions she had about the best places to shop.

“Redwood has a few clothing stores, but if you’re looking to do any real shopping, you have to travel about forty miles north of here.”

“I take it that’s where all the chain stores are located?” Donna asked.

“That’s right. The locals don’t really let any of the bigger chains take away their business. The few small shops they have that contain any clothes are okay, but I don’t feel like they’re going to do you any good if you’re looking to fill a wardrobe.”

“I’ll have to keep that in mind, but I’d much rather support the local businesses.”

Maggie smiled. “That’s good to hear. I’m a huge supporter of taking care of them as well. If you’re looking to make sure they get your business, I’m sure they will do everything they can to accommodate you.”

Although she didn’t say it, Samantha liked the idea of supporting the local community and the businesses it contained. Even when they went shopping back home, they liked to narrow it down to the small mom-and-pop shops in the area. Even though their local grocery store wasn’t one of the biggest, it always seemed to have everything they needed. As they continued to walk through the house and make their way to Harriette’s apartment, she found herself once again fascinated with everything she saw.

Samantha was sure that no matter how many times she saw the paintings on the wall or the way the designer had furnished the house, she was going to be surprised and in awe of it all. It didn’t take more than just a few minutes to make their way to the other side of the house. She listened to the ongoing conversation between Donna and Maggie. As much as she was starting to like their aide, she could only hope that Maggie felt the same way and she would get the opportunity to explore the relationship more.

As soon as they reached their grandmother’s apartment door, Maggie knocked before opening the door. When Samantha took her first step into the apartment, she realized it was designed almost entirely like theirs, but it only had one bedroom.
