Chapter 3

* * * *

Anthony Carsen was restless, despite having spent the whole day unpacking and organizing. He still had a lot of work ahead of him, but his aim was to go until he was so exhausted, he would have to fall asleep. As he worked, he reflected on how quickly things can change in life. He had managed to sell his house within a week, and a few days later made an offer on the place he was now setting up to be his new home. He happened to find it as he was driving aimlessly. He felt he had to keep moving, so stumbling upon this place was serendipitous.

The real estate agent was willing to drop everything to show him the property. “There were a few people who looked at it already. One gentleman was particularly interested in the unique design inside, and I have a feeling he may be ready to make an offer soon. I’d be happy to show it now, if you can wait until I get there.”
