Jenna
heard her landline phone ringing through the front door and hurried inside. She
dumped the bag of groceries she was carrying on the floor next to the table in
the hallway and grabbed the handset without checking the caller ID.
“Hello,”
she answered the phone, slightly out of breath.
“Hey
sis, been out running?” It was her younger sister Joanna.
“Hi
Jo. No, I just got home and heard the phone through the front door. I rushed to
answer before you hung up.”
“Ah,
I see. How are you? I haven’t heard from you since Dad’s birthday a few weeks
back.”
“I’m very good, how ‘bout you and Shannon?
How’s business?”
“We’re
both good, so is the business. How’s your business going?”
“Still
kinda’ slow, but things have been picking up lately. A couple of Sarah’s connections
have proved themselves useful. I hope it continues.”
“Glad
to hear it. I know you took a chance when you moved out there and threw
everything into this.”
“So
far it has been very worth it,” Jenna answered, a smile evident in her voice.
“Who
is he?”
