Chapter 87
The question was reeling through both Simmy and Sam... would Ed Polish hold up his most recent 'promise' and rent them the little commercial space.
Would today be a day of promise.
It had been many years since Simmy had knelt by her bed and heard the words 'by faith Abraham' which had seemed so simple and so complex. Every day since then had been a tough journey. Was it twelve years already?
It was at the end of the Eaton's era that she had purchased those garden tables. They had hosted family gatherings and last year, a wedding.
The phone rang.
"Hello, J.P.," Simmy answered.
"You always freak me out when you do that. I know you don't have call display. Your spidey senses are on the pin today."
"What can I do for you, J.P.?" Simmy asked.
"We need to get filming on that 'election' scene. Have you got the space?"
"We'll find out in a couple of hours. I'll let you know! Did you get the photos I sent you of the warehouse building?" Simmy asked.
"Yes, but I think we'll do a 'Remembrance Day' scene this week first," J.P. said.
"That is fitting," Simmy said. "Don't forget that you were going to use first and last names of different people to keep identities protected."
"What were the names we chose again?" J.P. asked.
"James Justice and Constance Lovelace," Simmy prodded. "It's in the 'Garden of Memories' filming day."
"We watched the 'Spitfire Challenge' Top Gear show last night. Those three boys are so audacious. They'll cheat if they have too. That Jeremy fellow did not want to be beat by a German chick. It was wildly fun to watch."
"I'll have to catch that episode for a bit of inspiration," J.P. answered. "Go secure the shop, Spitfire."
Text message came in... "Hey! I'm chilling @ Victoria hospital emergency. Lost a fight with a hammer drill and my safety glasses smashed into my forehead."
"We're on our way," Simmy replied to her construction son.
Next text came in... "Don't worry about it! I'm just going to get some stitches and go back to work!"
"Are you sure?..."
"Yes, it is exactly like the hockey stick incident."
Simmy recalled that incident... "Eyebrow split?"
"Yep!"
"We are available all day. I would like to come check you out? Okay?"
"I'm fine! You don't have to."
"I want to! Okay?"
"OK!"
