“Relax, Super Sales Man, I can’t afford the rent,â€? she laughed. “Strange day,” she sighed. “I’ve never been broken up by realtor before.”

“It’s a new one for me too,” he smiled. “My offer to drive you home still stands.”

“I’ll just walk. It’s not far, and I need – time alone.”

“Could I walk you to the front door?â€?

“Promise not to sell me anything?â€? He nodded. “OK.â€? As they neared the door, she added, “Could I have your card too?â€?

“Sure,” he quickly found one. “Thinking about moving?â€?

“No,â€? her expression seemed to indicate he should understand something.

“Oh -.” He stumbled. “Would you like my private cell too?â€?

Kate nodded. “I’ll call you – sometime.â€?

“Any time,â€? he scribbled the number on the card and handed it to her. “Can I ask you a personal question?” He said suddenly.

She laughed. “If you can’t after today -.”

“Did you really mean what you said about Jean-Claude Van Damme?” She laughed even harder. “He’s grown as an actor. Did you see In Hell? He was very good in it.”
