Chapter 79: Home

It was a lovely day, nice weather, warm but not too hot. Ideal for a quick house viewing.

I arrived a bit earlier than arranged, so I stood by my car for some time, waiting for the owner.

A few minutes later, a sleek black Jeep pulled up onto the driveway. The driver's side door swung open, and out stepped a lovely, slim woman in her mid-thirties. I could tell that she loved to do fitness.

I walked up to the porch and the woman approached me with a warm smile.

"Good afternoon. We spoke through the phone, right? You're a lot younger than I expected," she said, extending her hand to me.

I returned her smile and shook her hand. "Yes, I'm Jack."

"Isabella."

"Nice to meet you," I said. "I was hoping it would be alright to take some pictures and check out a few technical things like the water heater and the utility closet."
