Hannah tossed the keys to her new home into the air and caught them. Her smile wasn't quite as bright as she'd expected it to be. Mostly because it had taken most of the month of August to get all the paperwork done. Every time she'd thought they were ready to close, something else came up. It was incredibly frustrating. If she hadn't wanted the penthouse so badly, she might have backed out of the deal.
But it was finally done. She'd signed her name or her initials countless times, working her way through the mountain of forms the realtor placed in front of her. Escrow had closed, and the penthouse--twenty floors above the ground--was finally hers. All that remained was to move in and make it her own.
Her smile widened as she mentally arranged her furniture (existing and yet-to-be-acquired) in the new place. "Mine, all mine," she chortled--and realized she'd spoken aloud while standing in line for coffee. The woman in front of her seemed mildly amused by her outburst.
