The Cowboy and the Mermaid

Dwight and Lorelei are up early the next morning. Dwight uses the computer to find homes that are for sell and makes a list. They head out to the first one on the list. It looks too modern for Dwight and Lorelei thinks it is not close enough to the ocean. It is scratched off the list.

The next house meets some of the requirements for both of them. It has large rooms. It is not as close to the ocean as Lorelei would like it to be. It does have a pool. They put a question mark by it.

They next one they look at seems perfect, large rooms, already has some kid things in the yard. They walk around the yard and it is further away from the ocean then the second one. There is still another house on the list and Dwight will go to that one alone, as Lorelei has an appointment at the spa.

Lorelei kisses Dwight goodbye and leaves on her bike. She is meeting Pearl at the spa. She wants a deep tissue massage to help with those back aches.

Dwight arrives at the next house. It looks like a fairly new construction. The landscaping is still in progress. It certainly looks large enough from the outside. He walks around the back and the house is practically built on the ocean.

He sends a text to Lorelei. "Found it." He gave her the address and tells her to come as soon as she is done. In the meantime he is so sure this is the one, he calls the realtor to find out about the house. With his insurance money and Lorelei's inheritance they can easily afford the house. He tells the realtor he is pretty sure his wife will love the house, but will call him back shortly.

Lorelei gets the text as soon as she leaves the spa. She gets on her bike and rides to the house.

He meets her out front. "It is beautiful!" she tells him.
"Wait til you see the back."

"This is amazing. It's like someone built my dream house down to almost the last detail. Can we get inside?
Dwight tells her the realtor is waiting for his call. They walk up to the house to await the realtor. They have a tour of the inside of the house and Lorelei agrees with Dwight. "It's perfect inside and out." The realtor is surprised when they tell him they are moving in tomorrow, but, he works well into the night on the paper work and makes it happen for them. He knows he is making a large percentage from this sale.

Dwight and Lorelei take one last walk out to the back before going back home to pack. They are both happy and excited to be moving into this new home.
