It was a three-bedroom home on Capperton Lane and Jimmy stepped out of his car looking at the modest brick structure. A white BMW was already parked in the driveway in front of the two-car garage, and a young woman stepped out of the home as he made his way up to the porch.

“James Gabrini?” she asked as she walked across the porch and extended her hand.

“Yes,” Jimmy said as he shook her hand.

“I’m Valerie Wellstone. Welcome to Capperton Lane! You’ll find it’s a nice, quiet subdivision, and this home has many features I think you’ll like.”

But Jimmy was too surprised to really hear what she was saying. She couldn’t be much older than he was, she wasn’t male as he expected, and she was far more attractive than he ever could have thought his realtor would be.

“I see,” she said with a smile, realizing why he was looking at her so askance. “You were expecting my father?”

Jimmy smiled. “If Mr. Wellstone is your father.”

“He is. And I know you made the appointment with him. Unfortunately he got tied up across town in a rather complicated closing and couldn’t get away. I’m Valerie Wellstone.”

“Nice to meet you, Valerie.”

“Call me Val, everybody does. And please don’t let my youth fool you. I’m my father’s right-hand woman. I know the business inside and out.”

Jimmy nodded. He was still surprised that his realtor would be this perky young lady, but he was beginning to be pleasantly surprised.

“So, tell me, James, what do you think about the home’s exterior?”

Jimmy finally took his eyes off of her and looked at the house itself. “Yes, I like it,” he said. “I like the fact that it’s brick, and that the windows are so big and modern looking.”

“It has good curb appeal, doesn’t it?” she asked.

“Yes, it does,” Jimmy replied. As do you, he would have added if he was that kind of a flip, flirtatious young man. But he wasn’t that kind, so he held his peace.

“Let me show you what it looks like inside,” Val said, and Jimmy followed her. He wasn’t flirtatious like many young men his age, but that didn’t stop him from checking her out as he followed her inside.

She was small, he thought, and very pretty, with smooth, dark-chocolate skin, and small, but expressive eyes. Although she wore a straight-laced, buttoned-down business skirt suit, the skirt hem was far enough above her knees, and the blazer was tight enough across her waist that he could easily tell that she was more shapely than thin. And her brown, bouncy hair was in a short bob that hung no lower than the nape of her narrow neck, making her look as if she had some sophistication with her youth. But she was still very young.

“Isn’t this entrance adorable?” she said as she swept open the front door and allowed him passage in.

It was a nice entrance, with a wide open great room that connected to a kitchen in the back. The floors were all hardwood and the trace ceilings were cathedral high.
