Anna rush we are already late, said Lt. Casey while he was waiting in front of house. I am coming dad, I forgot one of my books, Anna said . I told you pack your bag last night, but you don't hear me, he said when he was closing the door. He passed his hands through her hair and give her a kiss on the forehead. Sorry Dad, I was very tired, said the girl, she was 7 years old. Tired? He questioned: What did you do yesterday? Violet and I helped aunt Christie to prepare some activities for her students. Matt laughed at her and said: It looks like a really tiring activity.
Matt started driving the car and headed toward the school and then he would go to his renovate job. So, I was thinking we could go to the park on Saturday, what do you think? Anna thought for a moment, but had to ask, Sophia will be there too? Matt asked: Do you want her go with us? Because if you want I can ask her. Anna knew his father liked Sophia, they were dating for two months, and Matt wished them become friends.
Anna's mother had died of cancer when she was 4 years old, and it was the second time she saw his father with a girl. It's not that Anna didn`t like Sophia, but Anna didn`t get a connection with her, and Sophia made no effort to that as well. Sophia seemed awkwardly with children. Anna decided not to grieve his father, so she said it was okay if he invited Sophia. Matt smiled and said he'd call to Sophia.
When they reached the school, Matt as always accompanied her to the school entrance and gave her a kiss and a hug. Love you dad, she said to him. I love you princess.
Matt went to address and knocked. The renovate was an apartment. A woman had called him saying that she had rented an apartment, but it needed some repairs. The owner couldn`t renovate in this moment so he said if she renovated she could stay without paying one month's rent. He was unable to make the repairs, and she had found nothing closer to the work she accepted the proposal. He found her voice beautiful and seemed to be pretty confident.
Hello, Matt said, he saw five calls from an unknown number and decided to return. Hi, Mathew Casey?, she said. Yes, I am, how can I help you? She said with relief: My name is Gabriela Dawson, I need to do some repairs in my apartment and heard that you are the right guy, said cheerfully at the end. I am, he said smiling. Please give me your address and I will do an evaluation, what do you think? Gabby said yes. For a moment he heard a voice deep inside saying I love you and Gabby responded love you too softly.
Matt thought it would be maybe a boyfriend or husband. And he remembered how he and Anna's mother always told each other I love you, he got teary-eyed. And he thought when he would hear or say that to someone other than her daughter, her sister and her niece. Sophia was a special woman, but had not reached the point of saying that he loved her, nor she never told him that, too. Sir, you still there? Mathew? He wiped his tears and said: Yes I am, sorry. Gabby felt something different in his voice, but thought it would be inconvenient to ask him anything, so just thanked for the attention and she would see him soon at the apartment.
A man opened the door to Matt: Hi, I'm Mathew Casey, Mrs. Gabriela Dawson called me to make an evaluation in the apartment. Antonio Dawson, brother of Gabby greeted Matt and let him in. At no time Antonio said it was Gabby's brother, then Matt just assumed it was her husband. Antonio showed the apartment and explained about what Gabby had told him, she apologized for not being there, but had to resolve some problems. As the apartment was empty, Matt had no chance even through a picture what it was like Gabby, giving a face that sweet voice. Matt stood for an hour in the apartment; Antonio was in the room while waited for him to finish. Sometimes Matt heard Antonio on the phone.
After a while, Antonio went to the bedroom and said maybe Gabby arrived in time to find it. Matt was excited because rather deal with those who contracted the work and could soon leave all settled, especially the value, which was what most concerned customers.
Matt returned to the room and said it was over. Do you think the Mrs. Gabriela still coming? Antonio replied that she was coming. Okay, I can wait another 10 minutes, I have another appointment at 11am. Antonio decided to ask: So, what do you think? Can you do the repairs? My sister is concerned, she can`t wait to move here. For me she would continue living with me, but she is very stubborn. Sister, Matt heard right? But she could have a boyfriend, and if it is none of my business, he tells himself. Yes of course. If you give me a week, I can do the repairs, and she will be in a comfortable apartment. Antonio says that he could take up to a month because that Gabby might be able to abandon this idea of living alone. Matt looked at his watch and he needed to go, but promised that he would call Gabby at night. Antonio thanked him and said goodbye.
After 10 minutes Gabby arrived, slammed the door shut and didn`t look happy, very upset she leaned back against the wall, he sat on the floor and bowed his head. Antonio came back from the bathroom and called her by name. She looked up, tears in her eyes, she said: Antonio, he emptied my account. All my savings are gone. What am I going to do? What am I going to do, Antonio?
