"Who is that?" I point out the window.
"I'm guessing it's the person who's going to give us the house tour."
I study her as she climbs out of her gray honda. "She looks old."
There is a long pause, and then Thorne chuckles, "I wouldn't tell her that."
"So what do we do now," I look back a Thorne.
"Oh yeah," He looks up from his port, "I guess we should probably get out of the car."
I pull the handle and the door pops open, I kick it the rest of the way open and climb out.
The lady glance at me and smiles professionally, you see this is why I work with computers. They don't give you the same meaningless smiles everytime you see them.
"So, Cress, first impression of the house." Thorne smiles at the house.
I frown at it, "I'd rather be camping right now."
Thorne turns back to me chuckling uncomfortably, "Right."
"Good morning, my name is Lisa." The woman walks over to us, one hand holding a clipboard and the other extended towards me. "I know, Thorne but I don't think I have the pleasure of meeting you."
I take her hand and shake it, well, actually it's the other way around. She takes my hand and, I swear she tries to break it. "I'm Cress." I gasp pulling my hand out of her hold.
"Oh, Cress," She reinforces her smile, "What a pretty name. Thorne's wife I pressume?"
I nod, silently watching her.
"Well let's get to the tour," She says with way to much energy for 10:30 am.
Thorne takes my hand, following the woman into the house with equal enthusiam.
'I think I am having bone failure,' I think to myself as my back yells at me for agreeing to come to the house tour. Him and my feet are always trying to stop me from doing things.
"You know you guys are so lucky that I am such a nice person."
I scoff internally, rolling my eyes.
Lisa looks back at me.
Oops, I guess the scoff could have possibly maybe accidently, not been so internal.....
I smile at her.
She squints her eyes at me and turns back to the door twisting the key to open the door. "As I was saying before, you guys are so lucky that I am such a nice person because as soon as we put this house up on the market we started getting flouded with offers. But I like to work with young families."
She steps to the side, holding open the door for me and Thorne, "You guys want to start up stairs or down stair."
"Cress?" Thorne looks down at me.
"Down stairs," I groan, if I were to try and go up stair right now. I think my feet would walk of the job.
I giggle a little bit at my own joke, causing Thorne to raise a questioning eyebrow to me.
I suppress my smiles and shake my head.
"Okay," The lady closes the door behind us, and then rushes to that she is once again in front of us. "So as you can see, the downstairs of the lovely home has a guest room. Which can be turned into an office and a half bathroom, which is a bathroom with no shower. So just a toilet and sink."
She smiles at us, turning back around just before she can crash into a wall as we turn the corner. A glance down the hallways as we pass it, "What's down there?"
