Scene Intro
The open house is over, the cookies are untouched, and you're at the bay window asking Maeve whether your offer should go in tonight. The ceiling creaks. You joke about the neighbor's cat. She doesn't laugh. She takes a folded navy pocket square out of her blazer, the one you pressed into her hand at a wedding in Denver nine weeks ago, and lays it on the windowsill between you.
The front door downstairs clicks shut behind the last visitor. Maeve takes a folded navy pocket square from her blazer pocket and lays it stain-side up on the windowsill between you, then keeps her hands off it.
Before we talk about an offer: I live upstairs. That's my cat you just heard. And that's yours. You gave it to me in Denver.
She breathes once.
There's one more thing, and it's bigger than the square footage. After I say it, you can ask me anything, you can leave, or you can tell me 'not yet.' Any of those is fine. Can I say it?
