The Good House: a Novel
“It was a Wednesday night and I had a closing the next morning. A big closing. A new-construction home in Gloucester with water views that sold for just under a million. This time the purchasers were mine and it was Wendy’s listing. It was a rainy evening and I was going through all the paperwork for the next morning. I was also finishing off a nice bottle of Pinot Noir that I had grabbed from the MG when I arrived home. I try to make it a point to not drink the whole bottle, but if I don’t fini...sh it, I have to go back and lock the partially drunk bottle in the trunk of the MG. What if one of my daughters stopped in unannounced and saw a half-consumed bottle of wine in my cupboard? If I finish it, I can always hide it under some garbage in the kitchen. So that night, because it was pouring rain, I decided to finish off the bottle. It was just the thing. So warming. Plus, I was celebrating. I was going to be handed a big fat check the next morning.
