“He owns a liquor store not that far away,” Cooper said.
“That’s him,” she said. She wouldn’t say any more than that.
“I remember him now,” Morgan said. “Funny. Cute. Did you think he was cute?”
She looked at Cooper and then back to Morgan.
“Maybe I’ll take Leah and put her down,” Cooper said and took his daughter away from her, giving the two sisters time to talk.
“Well?” Morgan asked. “Did you?”
“I did. I don’t know anything about him.”
“I’m sure you do, but you can’t say,” Morgan said, grinning.
“I meant anything personal. I don’t know if he’s single or not. It’s not as if I was going to ask Brian.”
“Why not?” Morgan asked. “Brian would probably think it’s funny.”
“I don’t make it a habit of having a personal life and if I did, I wouldn’t share it with anyone.”
“You shared it with me,” Morgan said.
“I did. Which I’m doing now.”
“Good point,” Morgan said. “I’m sure you’ll see him again. Talk to him. If not, go buy some wine. Maybe you’ll see him there.”
No reason to say that most likely wouldn’t be the case, but she’d keep it in mind.
“I’ll think about it,” she said.
“Everything else okay?” Morgan asked. “How is the apartment?”
“It’s nice,” she said. “Bigger than I had in Philly. I wasn’t sure how I’d like being on the first floor with people above me, but it’s quiet.”
“It helps to know people to find a place that short of notice. A nice secure one too.”
Her sister was right. She ended up getting the place because of her connections to the Butlers.
She probably bumped other people on a list, but she let it go. Things like that happened all the time.
It’s not like she could afford to buy a house like her sister had.
Morgan had made more than her for years.
Not all attorneys made big bucks, more so working where she had.
Sure, she wasn’t hurting for money and had invested a lot wisely through her brother for years.
But with so many things in her life up in the air, the last thing she wanted to do was take out a mortgage.
Nor did she think she could care for a house, so it was all good in the end.
Plenty of time to figure things out in the future.
“And you’re not that far away,” Morgan said.
“Nope. It’s not like walking distance to Sarah. Maybe someday.”
