The First Shock That Came

When Joyce had talked to Carla, she had also mentioned something unexpected that ultimately impacted how the sisters envisioned the property. They knew that the woman interested in selling her home was old, but they were still shocked to find out that she was 96 years old.

In particular, Carla was impressed that Joyce was still pretty lucid and had no hearing issues, unlike her grandmother, who she had to speak to with a raised voice. Joyce being able to hear just fine over the other line was astounding, but the biggest impression was yet to come.
