Saying hello, but knowing it was my wife, I heard her immediately say, “Hey, baby!”

“Hey, Maggie! You’re not going to believe what just happened!” I said cheerfully.

“What’s up?” Maggie said.

Not knowing where to start, I said, “Well, I dropped in at Mama’s to see Layla, and while I was there Mama asked about the house search. I told her it wasn’t going well and then she asked me to sit on that old porch swing with her. We sat in silence for awhile and watched Layla play with Buddy, and then Mama made this incredible offer!”

“What did she say?” Maggie asked excitedly.

“She offered us her house,” I said.

“You mean to stay in until we find a bigger place?” Maggie asked.

“No, she offered to sell us her house,” I said somewhat sheepishly.

“What?!” Maggie said in disbelief.

“Yes, I know, this is a wild idea, but let’s go over there together to pick up Layla tonight and walk around the property. She said we could live upstairs. It has those two big bedrooms. The master bedroom has that big wrap-around porch and there’s that huge bathroom. Mama said she’s never up there anymore anyway!” I said.
