"Yep," said Benjamin. "I have the contract right here. Just bring your stamp over."
Abel checked the time. Hm, Em needs some time to straighten herself out. "We'll be there in an hour and a half."
"Sure thing," said Benjamin. "I'm at Adelmar's golf court."
"Ah, I'm up for a match." Abel smiled.
"It's my honor." Benjamin smiled as well.
And then the call ended. Emmeline heard it. She guessed it must have been from Benjamin. So the Murphys are there. She left the room and wrapped her arms around Abel. "Evelyn and her brother told him to call you?"
"More than likely," said Abel. "He wouldn't have called otherwise."
"Guess we should meet up with them, then." Emmeline pouted. "I'd love to see the look on Evelyn's face."
Abel turned around and hugged her. "Kendra's preparing a fresh set of clothes for you. You can't wear this dress now."
Emmeline blushed. The dress was soiled, so of course she couldn't wear it. "I'll tell Kendra what I'd like to wear," she said.
"That works too." Abel patted her head. "I'll be waiting."
Emmeline went back to the room and called Kendra. "Get me the tracksuit. The one with a red skirt."
Kendra was holding her phone in one hand and rummaging through the closet with the other. "Oh, got it. I'll snap a pic."
"Thanks." Emmeline ended the call. A moment later, Kendra sent her a picture. She clicked into it and confirmed that that was the set she wanted. Then she texted, 'Get me a pair of socks and sneakers as well. Yeah, this is the set I want.'
Kendra texted back, 'Of course, Ms. Louise. I'll grab some skincare products too.'
