Chapter 14
PAIGE: I got the lamps. I’m not sure what to say ...
PAIGE: ‘Thank you’ seems so inadequate for what I’m feeling right now.
David read the two texts from Paige and grinned as he replied back.
DAVID: I’m so glad you like them. I was a little worried you wouldn’t.
PAIGE: Why wouldn’t I like them?
DAVID: Because they’re not like the lamps you had.
PAIGE: They definitely aren’t!
DAVID: I did try to find lamps like the ones your Great-aunt Adele gave us, because I know how much they meant to you. But, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to because I didn’t have access to her basement and her treasure trove of ‘antiques’.
DAVID: But in my extensive online search for something comparable, I came across the mermaids, and I don’t know ... they just spoke to me.
PAIGE: I’ll bet they did. They spoke to me, too.
DAVID: I honestly can’t wait to see the lamps in your bedroom. I know they’re going to look right at home in there.
PAIGE: Totally. And the best part is having one on each night stand.
PAIGE: Getting me two of them was beyond thoughtful, by the way.
DAVID: I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if I’d only gotten you one.
PAIGE: Aww, thanks! I hope you didn’t spend too much money on them, though. They look like they were really expensive.
DAVID: Don’t you worry about that. They were actually pretty affordable and I got free shipping, too.
PAIGE: Speaking of which, having them delivered to me at work was awesome. I wouldn’t have been able to show them off to Andrea, otherwise.
