Anne & Sue - Redux

"Why do I have to deal with this nonsense!?", Anne thought to herself. Her strained relationship with Sue had not improved all that much over the past two years despite her repeated attempts to remain on friendly terms.

Anne's answer came late on afternoon when her realtor sent her a text message, "News flash! They are going to send you an offer soon."

This "they" referred to Sue's sister and brother-in-law who wanted to move into the neighborhood to be closer to their family. Anne and her husband had been trying to sell their house and move for many months so this news could not have come at a more welcome time.

Settlement day came and all the papers were signed. Anne then understood that there was a reason why Sue had been placed in her life and why she had to endue what she had to endure.

Sue was Anne's key out of the neighborhood and onto to the next stage in her life.
