Kathy’s daughter, Khianna, was born the third week of September, which gave her a few days to get some gifts ready and made her take time to go over and see both of her friends and their newborn babies. Kathy was on the sofa when she went to the Brethertons.

“Dora,” she said, pleased when her mother let Dora in. “I’m so glad you came.”

“Had to see your newest addition,” Dora said, holding out a new teddy bear she’d purchased. “Ah, she’s a cutie.” The two-day old baby was asleep in a little bassinet in the corner while Brandon crawled across the floor.

“Yes, she is. But Xan’s getting stressed, even though he tries to hide it from me.”

“Why?”

“He hates putting my parents out like this,” she said in a whisper. “He fully expected us to have found the perfect house and so far? We haven’t been lucky. The house in Nashville finally sold which was a blessing, but the houses for sale in town just don’t have the room we need.”

“How much room do you need?”

“Xan wants at least three bedrooms if not four for our growing family. Plus, he would like a space for a study, though right now that isn’t even at the top of the list. The main thing is to have a protected back yard for the kids to play in.”

A strange idea hit Dora and as Kathy spoke, she rolled it around her mind, wondering if she dared bring it up. After all, could it be considered emotional blackmail? She didn’t want her friend to think they had to take the house.

“Dora?”

Blinking, Dora turned to Kathy who was waving her hand around. “Sorry. I was thinking of something.”

“Something or someone?” Kathy teased. “How many days till the wedding?”

“Forty-six,” Dora said automatically, blushing when her friend giggled. “But that wasn’t what I was thinking about. Kathy, have you ever actually seen my home?”

“Uh, I’ve been there.”

“I know, but have you ever been beyond the living room or kitchen?”

“Um…” Kathy cocked her head slightly. “Actually, I don’t think I have now that you mention it. How strange.”

“Well, and feel free to say ‘no’, ‘you’re crazy’, or ‘thanks, but no thanks.’” Kathy didn’t speak; just waited for her to continue. “I’m selling the house. It has four bedrooms plus a study. A huge, fenced backyard. The weeds kind of took over, but it’s still huge. It was built in several phases so it looks strange from the outside, but it’s comfortable and warm. Completely repainted, new fixtures in the bathrooms and the kitchen. It’s practically a new house.” Dora realized her voice was raising and she took a breath to calm herself. “Like I said. You don’t have to consider it, but if you’re interested…”

“Are you kidding?” Kathy asked, her eyes wide. “How much are you asking?”

“One-fifty.” It was lower than the one real estate agent had suggested she list it for. So far she hadn’t had the nerve to actually sign with an agent. “Though I’d be willing to accept less.
