And She Aches Just Like A Woman

Dani was not pleased with the job the painters had done on her kitchen. "I wanted warm and inviting. Instead, I got sunny side up!" she yelled. "This needs to be completely re-done in a much lighter shade of yellow. I want to see this room finished before you leave today." The painters rolled their eyes, but Dani was paying the bills. After checking to make sure she was happy with the new color, they went back to work.

In the meantime, Dani decided to sit out on the veranda with a magazine, making sure that the painters could still see her from the kitchen windows. She planned on checking on them repeatedly until the job was done. Just as she got settled in her lounge chair, her phone rang, with her brother's number in the Caller Id window.

She hung up on him. Despite her confidence while she was on the phone, she was a little worried about what Junior had said about surviving without taking another handout from her father. Maybe she should think about renting out the extra bedrooms in this house after all.
