Own the Night (19 page)
“He was a moron to pick New York over you.”
“Thank you. I agree!”
“So, your big news?”
“I got an amazing listing today. It's my big break. Uncle Ned, an old friend of my father's, called me out of the blue and offered me the Bellamy House.”
Julia's eyes widened once more. “That beautiful old place on the hill?”
“Yeah. The woman who owned it died a couple of months ago. Uncle Ned is her executor. There's a grandson and he okayed the sale.”
“That's terrific.”
“I know.” She turned mock serious. “There's just one problem.”
Julia grabbed her hand. “It needs staging?”
“Yes! The problem is I need it staged right away. I think I have the perfect buyers. I hate to ask you, but do you think you could stage it tomorrow? I'd love to show them the place Thursday morning.”
“Miracles are what I do.” Julia morphed from love-addicted friend into professional home stager, tapping at her tablet, then nodding. “Do you have the key to the place?”
“Yes.”
“If you can show me the home tonight, I'll figure out what I need and by tomorrow night, you'll have your miracle.”
“I can't wait to show you. This house is going to change everything for us.”
