Mike

The rest of the week had flown by, and without Frost, it was much better. There was a common camaraderie between us and not a distance that he seemed to put between the recruits. His cronies had quieted, and I could see them making it with the company now. They had apologised and put their best effort forward.

Saturday at noon saw Dave and me at the house meeting Sherry for the inspection. After this, we were meeting Tiny and the kids for their dance classes.

We walked around the house, and she left us to have a look by ourselves. I absolutely loved the house. It was a two-story colonial home which had a living room, family room, dining room, laundry, study, bathroom, and kitchen. I fell in love with the kitchen as soon as I walked in. There was a huge walk-in pantry and a butler’s pantry with a massive chest freezer. The cabinets were all cream with black handles and black marble counters. The fridge area was incorporated into the cabinetry. There was a built-in coffee machine, dishwasher, and a double stove. The pièce de résistance was the breakfast island in the middle. It had five stools that matched the rest of the woodwork in the room. Out the back of the house was a two-bedroom granny flat with a lounge and kitchen and a huge garage to fit at least four cars. It had a back deck off the kitchen and a swimming pool and spa.

Upstairs were five bedrooms and two bathrooms with one off the master bedroom. All rooms had built-in closets. The one in the master bedroom was a walk-in. It was nearly the size of the bedroom. The bathrooms both had spa baths, and the ensuite had a huge shower which could easily fit both Dave and me.

I turned to Dave, and he and I nodded at the same time.

“I love this house,” he insisted smiling hugely at me.

“So do I. Wanna go for it?” I asked.

“Hell, yes. Let’s do it.”

“Okay, let’s find Sherry and get this underway,” I commanded taking his hand.

We didn’t have to go far, in fact, we didn’t even make it out of the kitchen. Sherry came in and smiled at us. “Hi. I was just doing a walk-through myself and wanted to leave the kitchen until last. How are things going? Do you have any questions for me?”

“We like the house and want to make an offer,” I said.

“Great. Let’s have a seat, and we’ll discuss.”

We sat down and got to it, and before we knew it, she produced a contract which we both signed.

We had just bought our own house.

I took a copy to send to my lawyer and she took a copy. As soon as it was paid for, we would exchange keys. I would go to the bank first thing Monday morning.

We left after taking one last look at the house and giving Sherry a warm thank you for all the hard work she’d done for us.

In the car, on the way to the dance studio, I took his hand and kissed his knuckles.
