CHAPTER THIRTEEN

“No, I’m happy to help, Mr. Olson. I can meet you there in thirty minutes, if that works for you?”

“Wonderful, Serena. I’ve had my eye on this piece of property for the past three years, and heard they listed it this morning. Didn’t even call me, like they promised, which ticks me off, but what am I gonna do, right? I’m afraid if I wait, somebody is going to snatch it up before I can even see it or make an offer.”

“It’s no problem. I’ll pull the details and contact the agent representing the property, and see what we can do about making a deal, okay?”

“I know I can always count on you, Serena. See you there.”

Serena stared at her phone, feeling a bit guilty. She’d promised Antonio she wouldn’t leave the Big House without one of the Boudreaus or somebody from the sheriff’s department going with her. Ridge was around somewhere, having been dragged into being her babysitter today. She knew she should let him know where she was going, but he’d insist on tagging along, and she didn’t want to upset a client by bringing somebody along on their walk-through. Mr. Olson was a good client, and she’d been dealing with him exclusively since she’d moved to Shiloh Springs. He’d been her very first sale with Boudreau Realty, and they’d done a few transactions since then, mostly with rental properties he owned and the company managed. Between the trip to visit this prospective property and getting back, she wouldn’t be gone more than a couple hours tops. Besides the commission would add a nice chunk to her bank account, and she’d need the money if she had to take off and start over again.

For a second, she contemplated shooting Antonio a text, but he’d try to convince her to stay put. Honestly, she was going a bit stir crazy. Everybody had been over-the-top nice, but being around so many people kept her already frazzled nerves on edge. She was used to living alone, and missed having some quiet time all to herself. Grabbing a pen, she scribbled a quick note, and stuck it to the fridge with one of the cute magnets Ms. Patti collected. With a quick move, she grabbed her purse, shoved the phone inside, and sprinted for the door. So far, so good. No sign of Ridge.

Once on the road, she glanced in the rearview mirror, the Big House fading away in the background. A twinge of remorse assailed her, but she shook it off. Darn it, she wasn’t a prisoner, and she wouldn’t feel guilty for leaving without telling anybody. She was a grown adult, and could come and go as she pleased. Besides, she needed to do her job if she wanted to be able to make her mortgage payment and pay her bills.

Tapping the button on the steering wheel, she turned on the radio. A country music oldie poured forth and she smiled. She’d never admit it in a million years, but since moving to Shiloh Springs, she’d grown to love country music, especially the older stuff.
