Chapter 21 - SELLING THE HOUSEAfter Owen finished kindergarten, we listed the house.

I expected grief.

Instead, relief.

The new buyers were newlyweds.

They loved the kitchen.

I almost laughed.

The juice stain was long gone.

The shelf Linda called dusty had been replaced.

The hidden camera holes patched.

The house did not know what happened.

Buildings rarely do.

At closing, Jason and I sat on opposite sides.

Signed.

Proceeds divided according to settlement.

When finished, I handed over keys.

Linda's old key had already been destroyed.

Good.

Outside, Jason said:

“You okay?”

May you like

“Yes.”

This time true.
