I swing my front door open and immediately reach to catch the box that’s falling in front of me.

“Sorry.” It’s Callie’s muffled voice from behind another box. “I got them all the way to the front door, but knocking proved to be a real bitch.”

We drop the boxes—that I now see are full of colorful clothes—on the couch with an “umph”.

“What is all this?”

A bright smile crosses her face. “Congratulate me. I am officially a RowRow Apparel consultant!” She squeals and covers her mouth with her fingers. “Can you believe it?”

“I honestly can’t believe it because I’ve never heard you talk about this before. What’s going on?”

We pull bright dresses and skirts and tops out of the boxes and fold them absent-mindedly.

“Well, you know how Ben always thinks he gets to make the decisions around the house because he’s the sole bread winner now?”

“Yep. And you know how I always call him a dick for it?” It’s a continual argument with them. Because he makes the money, he gets to make the big decisions about what they do with that money. Sure, she can do whatever she wants within reason, but things like appliances and vacations… he always plays that card. “Well, I’ve decided we’re going to be a two-income household again,” she says with delight.

“How are you going to do that?” I’m really confused. “Christopher got kicked out of three different daycares and a church Mother’s Day Out program. Where are you going to find someone to watch him?”

“That’s the brilliance of RowRow Apparel.” She has her finger held up like she’s making an important point. “I do it out of my home on my own schedule. I can coordinate it around Ben being home.”

“Oh, he’s going to love that,” I say sarcastically.

“That’s part of what I love about it. I’m with Christopher while he works. He’s with Christopher while I work. Sounds like an even split to me. He’s got no room to complain.”

She makes a valid point. But I’m still not convinced. “I don’t know, Callie. You really want to spend all your free time doing this?”

“Think about it. I love to shop. I love to help other people shop. I love to tell them what to wear. This is the perfect job for me.”

She’s right. If anyone can be successful peddling clothing out of the back room of her house, it’s Callie. Plus, these clothes are really nice. I already see a few things I might like to try on myself.

“You’re right. This might be really good for you. But where are you going to keep everything.” I make a mental note to try on a flowy sundress with daisies printed all over it. “Don’t you have to keep several racks of inventory?”

She puts her hands on her hips, a strange look crosses her face and I swear there’s an evil gleam in her eye.

“I'm keeping it all in the office.”

“Wait. The office?”

She nods.

“The sanctuary no one goes into because it is a mecca of business and finances?” Ben’s words.
