I smiled as I led her into the house, gesturing for her to make her way to the kitchen.
“I wasn’t starting to think you wouldn’t show,” I said.
“I wasn’t sure I would either,” she answered.
We stepped into the kitchen and I featured for her to take a sit at the table. “I understand,” I said. “It’s a big decision. I’m really glad you’re hear though.”
She smiled softly.
“Would you like something to drink?” I asked. She nodded. I poured her a glass of water and set in on the table in front of her. “How are you feeling?”
“Nervous. A little excited, but mostly nervous,” she answered.
“That’s understandable. You’ve read the contract?” She nodded. “Do you have any questions?” She shook her head almost imperceptibly. It was easy to see just how nervous she really was and I tried to give her a reassuring smile as I continued.
“Ok, that’s fine. I’m just going to go over a few points just to make sure there are no surprises, ok?”
“Ok,” she said meekly.
