Modern Lovers
“She had an appointment that afternoon with a couple from Carroll Gardens who wanted a house in the neighborhood—they had a three-year-old daughter and were pregnant with another. Zoe’s house was exactly what they were looking for—big enough for all the people in their family but shabby enough that they could afford it. Deirdre had a listing for a house on Ditmas Avenue, but Elizabeth knew they wanted to be closer to the park than that. A few blocks made all the difference, sometimes—it wasn’t u...nusual to have clients who gave you exact borders that they were looking within—sometimes it had to do with school zones, but sometimes it was just personal preference. If Elizabeth ever moved, she would want an apartment on Commerce or Grove or Bedford in the West Village, a tiny little tangle of streets. Not that she wanted to move—it was just a professional hazard, seeing how other people lived their lives and measuring against your own.
