“I gotta another
question.”
“Terri, you’re
sure full of questions.”
“Yeah—I like to
know what I’m paying for…speaking of which, you said you charged a lot of
money. How much?”
“For you, about
ten grand a question. You should be
bankrupt by the time you go to bed.”
“No…really.”
“Really. Can we get back to some sensible planning,
please?”
“You never let
me ask my first question. When Bill was
showing me around upstairs, I saw the barn-like building, on the other side of
your land from Bill’s house. It has what
almost looks like a runway in front of it—is it? A runway, I mean?”
“Yes, dear. The barn
is the hangar. And before you ask—yes,
it has a plane in it. Before you ask
again, it is a twin-engine prop job.
Both Bill and I fly, but neither has ever flown a jet. Before you ask, Bill is far the better
pilot.”
“Do I have to
pay ten thousand dollars for those questions I never got to ask?”
“Yes. Now I have one…why didn’t you ask Bill about
the ‘barn’ and runway while you were looking at it?”
“Bill was
flirting and I liked it—had my mind elsewhere, besides your damned old barn.”
