It sounded a little weird hearing Gar referred to as 'the little green boy', and she hoped that would stop once Emmett got to know him better. Sophie wanted Emmett to like Gar. Though... getting to know him might have the opposite effect. "Just talking business."
"Oh.. It was? Sorry. I tried to check in on it every now and then.." Sophie didn't really know how to take care of a house on her own. Maybe she should have found a caretaker, but she hadn't made any long term decisions on what to do with it. Once every couple of weeks she checked in and peeked into a few of the rooms, mainly Emma's. She dusted her mother's bedroom, sometimes, and tried to make sure it was nice. She hadn't really been expecting anything, certainly not this, but it had been a routine.
