“The agent is still waiting for them to show up,” Elsa said.
What? How rude was that? They totally didn’t deserve Mrs. Campbell’s house.
“I don’t know how much longer he’s going to wait for them.”
“Want us to go up and see what’s up?” Matt volunteered.
“Yes, dear, that would be lovely. Thank you. I’d go myself, but I don’t want to get all the way up to the street, only to have to come back down again.”
Matt turned to her, gave her a panty-melting half smile, and snagged her hand. “Come with me?”
Didn’t he know she would follow him anywhere?
They walked, hand in hand, up to the street and then down Mrs. Campbell’s driveway. It seemed more appropriate than cutting across the property line to the back patio.
The car parked there was a sleek black Lexus.
Guess the agent does pretty well on commissions, Anna thought.
They went to the front door, and Matt pressed the bell. It felt so strange to do so after living there for more than a year, coming and going as she pleased.
The agent who opened the door was familiar. Tall. Black hair. Vibrant blue eyes.
Shane Callaghan.
“About time you two got here,” Shane said with a smile. “I’ve got the papers ready to sign. Just need your John Hancocks.”
Anna stared at Matt. “You? You’re the buyer?”
“We are the buyers,” he said with a grin. “That is, if you want the place.”
Anna leaped onto him—thankfully, he caught her—and kissed his whole face.
He laughed. “I guess that’s a yes?”
“Yes,” she managed between kisses. “That’s a yes.”
Matt looked at Shane, who was grinning too. They moved to the table, where Shane had everything laid out and marked with peel-off arrows where they needed to sign. Anna didn’t bother reading the contracts. If Matt’s uncle had drawn them up, they were solid.
“How hard is it going to be to change the names on the deed?”
“Not hard.”
“Good.”
Shane took the completed papers and tucked them into his briefcase. “Congratulations. You’re homeowners.”
“Thanks, Uncle Shane.”
“It is my pleasure. Just so you know, Ian’s already told everyone that the Fourth of July party is going to be here this year.”
Anna laughed. “That won’t be a problem.”
After Shane left, Matt wrapped his arms around Anna. “Are you happy?”
“So very happy,” she answered. “I can’t believe you did this.”
“Don’t you know I would do anything for you, Anna?”
