"How about the dinner for three?" you say. "I think that should be enough for everyone."

"Yes, that sounds fine," Ms. Snelpucker says.

A waiter comes by and serves complimentary water. You give him the order, with cola all around for the drinks. And while you wait, Ms. Snelpucker brings out the paperwork for the house sale.

"Oh, well, alright," you say, "I suppose we can get business out of the way."

You skim through it but it seems pretty straight forward. You just aren't sure about the state of funds...

You check your phone, and you still haven't gotten a response. Even at eight hours ahead, the UK is only at 2 AM so you understand no one being awake.

"Well..." you say, trying to figure out how to delay. "How long did your great-aunt have that home?"

"Oh, uh, since like the 70s."

"Oh, wow," you say. "It's definitely in great shape just from looking at the outside."

"Yes, I made sure all the interior was in working condition and cleaned," Ms. Snelpucker says. "Freshly cleaned carpeting, the water heater works, and there's no faulty wiring."

"Very good," you say.

Well, that delay tactic didn't last long.

"I do have to be honest," you say. "I'm still waiting on approval of the funds. You know how it is with the time zone differences."

"Oh, of course," she says. "It's a million dollars, after all. What's the exchange rate of that?"

"About 750 thousand Pound sterling, I believe," you say.

"Well there's no rush," Raven says. "We can just enjoy dinner first."

"Right," you say. "A toast."

You pick up your glass of water.

"To the sale of the lovely Ledyard home," you say.

"Cheers," Ms. Snelpucker says.

You three clink glasses and take sips of water. The waiter returns and sodas are served in glasses. No straws, but that's not a big deal. You sip that and think of what to talk about now.

A) Interior details of the house
B) The neighborhood
