She said: I hope it’s not too late to be calling.
I said: not at all.
She said: I was watching the Christmas special tonight. I watch it every year, the home tours, I find it very calming. And then the last segment came on.
She said: Miranda, that house. Those windows and the stone and the mountains.
She said: I had no idea you had built something like that.
I said: thank you.
She said: I called your mother right after the segment ended.
She said: I wanted to share it with her. I thought she would want to know that I had seen you.
She paused.
She said: she didn’t know about the program.
I said: no.
She said: I told her I had seen your house on the television special. I told her it was one of the most beautiful homes I had ever seen. And I asked her: why weren’t you there last night?
