The Woman From Hell

I looked at the landlord and spoke indifferently, "The couple is old. Do you still have any rooms on the first floor?"

The woman was in a trance for a moment, then she looked at me and asked, "Of course, there is. Do you want to rent it?"

I nodded with a cold attitude. "Why don't you help them put their things in first? I'll be sure to pay you more."

She looked at me and at Theo, then wore a smile on her face as she deftly packed up the things for the couple.

Amelia's mother looked at me with a reddened face. "Mrs. Grant, you've helped me enough. We really can't-" "Don't worry and stay here. Ma'am. Don't think about anything else. Settle down for a period of time. Things will get better."

I was not very good at comforting someone, nor did I know the best way to comfort her, hence I could only say so.
