Sophie had been talking about moving to the neighbourhood to stay close to Eugene—and for the children's sake. It was postponed for a long time because the house she wanted was held by a celebrity who kept going back and forth on the offer.
She let it go because buying the house wasn't really a priority—it wasn't as if she couldn't just visit Eugene from her townhouse—but the deal with the celebrity finally fell off before the summer because their movie flopped or something, so Sophie snatched the contract right away.
Maybe the movie got defeated by Invisible Scent? Sophie wanted to giggle every time she came out with new speculation.
Whatever. What mattered was that they got the house!
This time, she didn't even tell anyone—especially the friend who was struggling with all kinds of things since the beginning of the pregnancy. She hired someone to redecorate the house, bought more furniture, and moved their essential stuff little by little. And finally—the time had come!
