“Is that all you’ve got to say for yourself, then?”

[arabellavanburen]

“I’m afraid so.”

[dukeofiona-blog]

“Do it! Do it! Do it!”

[arabellavanburen]

“I was hoping for some sage advice buying real estate, but the encouragement is welcome too.”

[kate-winters-blog]

“I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve got an extra, if you’d like. You can have the queen.”

[arabellavanburen]

“A Sibling swap could be interesting. I always wanted nieces and nephews and kids running around, but that didn’t happen.”

[victor-winters]

“Indeed, it is always a great thing when someone is able to turn their life around for the better.  It certainly gave us this opportunity to talk.  I do hope you will give me a ring if you ever want to explore more or just need a friend to hang out with.”

[arabellavanburen]

“I definitely will. I enjoy the company.”

[kate-winters-blog]

“I could not even begin to imagine that. Vic is the yang to my ying. How did you manage?”

[arabellavanburen]

“I’m not entirely sure. It was very lonely.”

[victor-winters]

“That does not sound good, but I am glad you got the help you needed.”

[arabellavanburen]

“It was much needed in many ways, but thank you. Life is better now.”

[arabellavanburen]

“I’m seriously giving thought to buying a vacation home here and I have no one here to stop me.”

[kate-winters-blog]

“I think that is an accurate summary of most family.”

[arabellavanburen]

“I’m very much an only child, but my mom makes up for it.”

[victor-winters]

Victor’s tried to keep a straight face, though his eyebrows raised slightly as he looked at Arabella with a stunned expression.  “Oh, I had no idea that it was that bad.”

[arabellavanburen]

“I was in the hospital for a time.”

[dukeofveneto]

“Lady’s choice.”

[arabellavanburen]

“You sure about that?”

[victor-winters]

“That is good.  Glad you are in a good place.”

[arabellavanburen]

“It would have killed me if I hadn’t.”

[kate-winters-blog]

“Mothers always know how to traumatize best.”

[arabellavanburen]

“She’s loving, yet smothering sometimes. They definitely do.”

[arabellavanburen]

dukeofveneto:

“Which calls for a demonstration.”

“What would you like for me to negotiate?”

[victor-winters]

“Understandable, reminds me a bit of my twin sister.”

[arabellavanburen]

“It took a while, but I finally got myself in a good place.”

[dukeofveneto]

“And why are you involved in the business? You look a little young to be a penny pincher. I think that’s the phrase I’ve heard.”

[arabellavanburen]

“I enjoy it. I’m really adept at negotiating.”

[victor-winters]

“Do you mind me asking you why you missed on some of that?  You do not have to answer if it is too personal.  I am just a curious person is all.”

[arabellavanburen]

“I was rambunctious and didn’t have my priorities in the right places.”

[kate-winters-blog]

“That is slightly disturbing, although it bodes very well in terms of child care and for your future.”

[arabellavanburen]

“Trust me. It disturbs me more than anyone I know.”
