Offer in the Flat

Mary Estella Danrich decides not to celebrate her 60th birthday. Instead, she decides to sell her flat and immediately regrets it!. The 'For Sale' board goes up and her life turns upside down. When the past turns up on your doorstep and stares you in the face, the shockwaves impact the next move. Reeling from the loss of her father and from the deceit of divorce imposed on her sister, all options are on the table. Emigrating to Italy to live near her sister is almost irresistible however Mary risks losing the 'one that got away;' again. A reflection of the so-called 'good old days' stirs up moments of regret and memories of a love with simplicity at its core. The farcical open house viewing days orchestrated by a Sales Negotiator who should be an award-winning actor, prove to be an effective temporary distraction albeit an extremely stressful avoidance tactic. The sales strategy sounds such a good idea in theory, but in reality, the eccentric cast of potential buyers cause mayhem. Do the Estate Agents hire actors? They cannot be real characters - can they? Mary's friend, Nicola Church, goes straight to the heart of the matter - she believes in tough love. Nicola is not offering advice about a property sale but about dealing with the challenges of change. Nicola's 60th birthday party lifts spirits. Friends reunite and the awesome foursome return to the dance floor for a fleeting moment. Mary is overwhelmed. Will the scrambled conversations lead to a conclusion, or an intermission? Do we miss chances, or do we push them away? Please let me know what you think.
