“Don’t you like it?”
“Erm… How could someone say no to something like this? I mean it is less said amazing!”
“My darling, I am so happy to hear this. As we all know, writers need their own space as they tend to be loners most of the time.”
“But… how much is it? I mean I do not know if I can afford it!”
“You won’t pay any rent.”
“I don’t understand.”
“The owner was my best friend. He left me the Feelings Café and this cottage. The cottage however came with certain instructions. I was meant to be the tenner until you arrived.”
“I cannot accept it. I mean it’s a house!”
“You can and you should. He also left you a letter. However, you’ll read it after the party.”
“What party?”
“The party for you, darling. Ah, I almost forgot! Please do bring your laptop with you. We would love to hear one of your stories!”
“Okay. Just let me prepare!”
“See ya in half an hour.”
I was still in shock when I came out of the shower. “Why would the owner let me his house? I mean why? What’s the catch? I don’t understand.”
“Okay, I should stop talking to myself, dress up and go to the party.”
When I arrived at the Feelings Café everything was settled. There was my new home, my new family waiting for a literature surprise. I took a glass of wine and I opened a story from a long time ago. The Letter of the Feelings’ seller. I knew it was the right choice because everyone couldn’t stop smiling.
