“I’ll
take it!” Wendy said excitedly.
“Don’t
you think you ought to ask your sister first?” Donny said following her from
the dirty back room to the even messier front half. “It is for her, after all.”
“Please!
If I left it to May, it’ll never get done. I’ll just get it for her.”
“Wendy,
there’s more to it than that,” he said. “There is the lease to be signed and
she’s the one who has to do that, not you.”
“Why?”
“Because
it’s for her business. If you sign it, you would be responsible for it whether
or not you got her to move here.”
“No
worries there. She’ll come when I tell her I have the perfect spot and then we
can switch it to her name.”
“Not
that easy, Wendy. The person who is going to be renting the space has to sign
the lease. That’s how it works. And it doesn’t matter that she’s your sister.
You’re going to have to get her to come up and see it for herself, and if she likes it she can
take it.”
