Mr.

Bennett called with the news while I was repairing a loose rail on our back steps.

I sat down on the step and listened to him explain what it meant and what still had to happen.

“So it’s over?” I asked.

“The main challenge is resolved for now,” he said.

“We still complete administration, paperwork, and the title work.

Don’t confuse a favorable order with everything being finished.”

I thanked him and hung up.
