"The guy only put the girl's name on the deed. Can you imagine? Lucky girl."
"No worries, though. Next time something good comes up, I'll let you know."
I took a deep breath and mustered the courage to ask.
"Could you tell me who the girl was? I love that unit so much, I'd be willing to pay above market to buy it back."
The agent paused.
"Pay above market? That doesn't seem worth it..."
"It's fine. Money isn't an issue."
The agent said she'd ask around. Before long, someone sent me a friend request.
I opened the contact card and saw the number. A number I recognized.
It was the same one Marvin used to order delivery and send gifts.
You want to buy my place?
The message came almost immediately.
Yes, I really love that unit. The apartment number is actually my boyfriend's birthday.
Would you be willing to sell? I can pay extra.
She sent a smiley face.
How much extra are we talking? I bought it as a wedding home too, so I'd have to check with my boyfriend.
I tapped at the screen. A wedding home too? What a coincidence. The agent mentioned the deed is only in your name?
Your boyfriend must really love you.
Yeah, he's really good to me.
