“I live here.” she said as-a-matter-of-fact.

Ceaser was confused. “The owner of the house?”

If she owned the house then…

“I own the house…” she said “…now at least.” she murmured.

“Who owned it previously?” he asked, praying silently that she would give him a name and he’d be on his way in search of the previous owners.

She stilled and just stared at him. She shook her head and blinked fast. Then she looked back at him.

“I’m sorry for my bad manners. Do you want to come in?” She smiled at him.

The change in her expression was so fast that he felt like he stumbled in.

“Sure.” He said, stepping in as she opened the door wide.

Ceaser entered and waited for her to shut the door behind her then she led him into the living room which he could see from entrance.

They entered the living room and Ceaser saw some toys at the corner and a duster on the table.

She was cleaning.

“I’m sorry about the mess.” She said as she picked the duster and took it to the kitchen which was open to the living room. “Have a seat please.”

Ceaser sat and waited for her to join him.
