“Does that mean this is the one you want?”
I nodded. “This is the one I want.”
Nick stuck out his hand.
I gave it a firm squeeze.
“Congratulations, Aiden.
“Thanks.”
“I’ll let you know as soon as I have the paperwork ready.”
“Looking forward to it.”
I did one more lap of the perimeter, taking notes in my head about what I would need right away and what I could afford to get later. Then I followed Nick outside and watched him lock the door.
“Next time we stop by,” he said, “these keys will be yours.”
“I can’t wait.”
I went back to my car and waved at Nick as he drove away. Then I turned back to look at the property I’d just bought, the vision I’d bought into.
I knew I’d made the right decision, and I was absolutely buzzing. I couldn’t wait to start fitting the place out and bringing my first clients in.
But there was one person in particular I couldn’t wait to show it to.
