here?” he invited warmly. “I’ll just grab some papers and be right with you.” He opened the door for me and ushered me into the room, even pulling out the chair for me.
    I had never met a gentleman before, but Joel Matthews may just be the perfect example of one. He was charismatic, charming, intelligent, and so very sexy. I sat in the bland conference room staring vaguely at the blue and orange walls, and fantasized about Joel. I had definitely made the right decision to sell.
    Rushing back in, his arms were full of papers, and he had pens hanging out of his mouth. He looked so disorganized it was enchanting. “Sorry about the wait.” He smiled again, looking straight into my eyes. I felt my breath catch in my chest, and my cheeks blush. “So, what are we selling?” he invited.
    I sat there for almost twenty minutes describing the house in the suburbs and the unit on the water. I answered many questions, some I didn’t even know the answers to, but Joel assured me not to worry, that was his job and he would find out. When he asked whose name the properties were in, I felt myself tear up. Praying I wouldn’t embarrass myself, I began to explain. “I’m not exactly sure whose name the titles are in at this point. They were in my parents’ names, but they have both been left to me. They were transferring it over, but I’m not sure where they are with the process.”
    A strange, almost sad look crossed his face, “Mind if I ask why it’s being put in your name?”
    Taking a deep breath, so I exhaled, trying to compose myself, “My parents recently died. They left everything to me.” It came out faster than I had ever spoken before, but at least it was out.
    “I’m very sorry for your loss,” he offered sincerely, reaching out and squeezing my hand supportively.
    Straightening myself in the chair, I pulled my hand out from under his and pretended to wipe stray strands of hair from my forehead. “So, what do I need to do next?”
    A wave of relief passed over Joel and I could see the life return to his mesmerizing eyes; he was obviously as glad as I was for the change of subject. “If you are one hundred percent sure this is what you want to do, we need to fill out some paperwork, then I will get in touch with the property managers, let them know the properties are being sold, and see if we can get some access. How hard this whole process is really depends on the tenants, unfortunately. If they don’t allow access to the photographer, for exhibitions, or valuer when it is sold, it can cause huge issues. Do you know when the leases expire?”
    “Not sure, but yesterday I ordered the eviction of the tenants in the house. They are nine weeks behind in the rent, so I want them out. Also, I don’t know what sort of condition the property is going to be in once they have been evicted. From what I heard, they aren’t exactly what you would describe as ‘ideal’ tenants,” I admitted. By this point I figured that he was going to find out anyway, so there was no point in lying.
    “Don’t look so worried.” Joel laughed easily. “It's no fun if it’s all straightforward. Okay, if you’re happy with everything you and I have discussed, I’ll just need you to sign a couple of pages and we can get to work.” He slid the papers towards me and I noticed for the first time he had been taking notes. They were already almost completely filled in. He smiled, my heart sped up, and I signed whatever he asked me to.
    “Great! Now here’s my card with all my contact details on it. Feel free to contact me with any questions or queries you might have. I’ll get all this started and I’ll give you a call about lunchtime tomorrow, if that’s okay, and let you know how we’re going and a rough time of when you can expect to see the properties on the market,” he summarized.
    “Oh,” I said, disappointed.
    “Is something the matter?” His mood instantly turned to concern.
    “No…no, it’s nothing,” I
