Miriam's Opportunity

As Miriam loaded the last box into her trunk her curiosity did get the best of her. She opened the box and the clothing inside made her smile.

She drove to work the next day still grinning.

"Hey, Kelly. Get that Realtors' Association on the phone."

"Sure, Mim. Why?" Her secretary asked as her boss whisked past her desk.

"I want to accept the room. I'll tell them the letter declining I sent by mistake."

"This letter?" Kelly dropped a white envelope on

Miriam's desk.

She landed on her chair in surprise. "You never sent it?"

"Nope. I knew you'd change your mind."

Miriam stared at her friend then laughed. "Damn, you know me."

"True, girlfriend."

"Now, go get them on the phone," Miriam said and waved Kelly out the door.

While she waited, she booted up her computer and brought up her plans for the room.
