“If his attention span is that short, George, maybe he’s not such a loss,” Maizie said.
“Oh, I know he’s not,” George agreed. “Rachel deserves someone who’s worthy of her.” He smiled at Maizie. “I’d really like for you and your friends to make that happen.”
“Well, I’ll certainly see what we can do,” Maizie promised.
He rose to his feet, nodding at the woman. “That’s all I ask, Maizie, that’s all I ask,” he told her very seriously. “Let me know what I can do. And spare no expense. Whatever it comes to, I’ll cover. That girl is everything to me. She always has been.”
“There’s no cost, George, just ingenuity.” Hooking her arm through his, Maizie walked the man to the front door. “And I understand what you’re saying, George. Believe me, I totally understand,” she told him, sympathetically, patting his arm. “I’ll be in touch,” she promised.
He knew that when Maizie said it, she meant it. It was just a matter of time.
He left the real estate office feeling happier and more hopeful than he had been in a long time.
Rachel was as good as married, he thought. This time to a decent man.
He knew that he could bet his life on that.
“Our girl’s in good hands, Marilyn,” he whispered under his breath as he got into his car to drive back to the restaurant.
