For the past 3 weeks, Luka had been searching for the perfect apartment without success. Finally, today Abby and him were visiting one that seemed perfect. Luka had previously arranged a meeting with the owner, an old funny lady. Who received them at the door.
“Dr. Kovac?” the old lady asked. He nodded.
“Oh, and you must be Mrs Kovac!” the woman smiled warmly.
Abby turned to look at Luka, he smiled and shrugged.
“…It’s Lockhart” Abby tried to correct her, but the lady walked inside the apartment, they followed her in.
“This is a nice apartment for a little family like yours....” The woman started to talk and talk and talk about the place. Abby walked away from her, to let her torture Luka with her babbling. She decided to get closer to a nice balcony on the other side of the living room and stood admiring the view. It was awesome.
“Oh, do you like the view, Mrs Kovac?!”
Damn, that woman was still calling her 'Mrs Kovac', Abby rolled her eyes “It’s Lockhart, Miss Lockhart”
The old lady ignored her and continued her speech “We have a magnificent view and in the middle of summer is really amazing”
“Yeah, that’s what it looks like” Abby replied still fond of the view.
“Do you cook, Mrs Kovac?”
Okay, one more ‘Mrs Kovac’ and she was going to commit murder.
Abby turned to look at the old woman and smiled gritting her teeth. “Sure, I love to prepare the most extraordinary dishes for my beloved husband” She retorted, looking at Luka, who was chuckling .
“…Then you’ll love this kitchenette…” She pushed Abby into it.
“Oh, yes I do...What do you think...my DEAR husband? Is it suitable for me, to prepare your croatian exquisiteness?” Abby questioned him.
He was having so much fun with Abby’s ironic retorts. “Yeah, sure I like it” he tried to hold a chuckle.
“Oh, and the master bedroom is huge” The lady walked away to show them the room. They followed her.
“Is it huge enough to fit two beds inside?" Abby asked "…because my husband and I are use to sleep in different beds…like in those old fashioned tv shows” They stepped into the room. It was huge enough to fit more than four beds.
“You can put your king-size bed in the middle” The old lady pointed out.
“This woman has a serious problem” Abby whispered to Luka. He laughed out.
"Do you like it?"
“Yes, MY WIFE and I love this place” Following Abby’s game, Luka put his arm around Abby's waist and pulled her against him. Abby bit her lower lip to hold a laugh. “We just feel a little uneasy about the price” he continued.
Suddenly one of the babies started to cry.They forgot they left them sleeping, in their car seats in the middle of the big empty living room, outside. So everyone walked out to check the babies.
“Aww…you have twins!!?? “ the woman asked realizing that there were two babies there.
“Well actua…” Luka tried to explain but he was cut of.
“Yes, 16 hours of labour. Can you imagine?” Abby replied
“Ah, poor dear” the lady patted Abby’s back “I love twins. My daughter had twins last year. ..You know what? I like you.” The old lady gave them a serious look. “You’re such a beautiful family. If you make a reasonable offer, I’ll take it and the apartment will be yours” The woman leaned to tickle the babies.
