Chapter 13
In the end, Dennis didn’t tell her. Linda was having such a great time on their date that he didn’t want to ruin her mood.
No, that was a lie. He had chickened out. He didn’t want to lose his wife again so he kept his mouth closed.
He had to find a way to make it right. Then, an idea started forming in his mind. Dennis punched the number of the realtor he had used to buy the house.
“Hello, Grace? Dennis Harris ... I’m fine thank you. Look, I want to put the house I bought back on the market? Priced to sell. And please, remember that Linda doesn’t know about it.”
“Why are you selling it, Dennis?”
“I know this afternoon you are going to show Linda a property that it’s perfect for her Daycare Center. I’m selling the house to help her achieve her dream. I’d like to make it a sell and buy operation.”
“Dennis,” Grace McAllister said cautiously. “You know I’ll help you do whatever you think is right. But I’m going to be the voice of reason here. Just talk to Linda. Make the decision together.”
Dennis shook his head. “You don’t understand. I screwed up. I kept the house a secret for too long. If Linda knows about it we are not going to make it. I need to make things right. The Daycare Center was always her dream. I’m going to do anything in my power to make it happen.”
Grace fumbled for the light switch, finally flipping it on and illuminating the large room. Linda looked around in amazement. The place was just perfect. She swallowed hard, rapidly blinking back the moisture that sprung to her eyes.
“I love it! Have you shown this property to anyone else?”
“Someone showed interested, although I have no current offers.”
“How much are they asking?”
Grace scribbled a number on one of her cards that made Linda inwardly blanch.
