Abigail said, "We're actually a few minutes early. It looks like the previous appointment is still looking. I'll pop in-"
Before she could finish, the door opened all the way and a tall blond woman in a tight pantsuit stood in the doorway. A young man, maybe Jack's age, stood behind her dressed in designer jeans and a button-down shirt.
"Abigail! Fancy meeting you here," the woman in the doorway exclaimed.
"Ester, still looking fit as ever," replied Abigail. "Still working the retail market?"
"You know it. I like the personal touch that comes with working directly with home buyers. There's just something about helping people find their dream home that is just so much more satisfying than dealing with corporate functionaries."
When Ester said, "personal touch," the young man behind her briefly showed a knowing, almost smug, look.
Noticing the look the young man briefly showed, Jack wondered just how personally the young man had been touched by Ester.
