“Get it insured, sweetheart. Do it as soon as you hang up on me.”
“Okay,” I murmur. “I can’t believe it.”
“Me neither, but you really landed on a gold mine here, Nee.”
A million-dollar painting… it would mean I wouldn’t need to worry about money—if I sold it. I’m not sure what I’d do with it, though. I’ve never been in this position before, and I never expected to be in it. I thought my store would be filled with trinkets that were worth next to nothing.
“Okay… I need to process this. Keep finding out what you can about the painting. I’ll try to sort some insurance. Thanks, Harry.”
“Sweetheart, you don’t have to thank me. This is the most excitement I’ve had in my life for nearly a decade.”
I say my goodbyes and hang up the call. Then I continue to shut the store down for the evening, wondering where I can get insurance for that much.
I lock the shop up and walk to my car, my head full of my conversation with Harry. I have no idea how to deal with what I’ve learned. I have no idea how to proceed.
I wonder what Jared will make of this…
I’m so deep in thought, I don’t notice the figure step out of the shadows until a hand goes around my neck and drags me back. I try to scream, but my voice is stopped by the pressure on my throat.
Then it’s light’s out.
