It was the sixth house on their list with Penny vociferously
dismissing each of the previous ones.
Martha had been eager to not let single parenthood deprive her
little girl of the luxury she deserved and more. However, this was getting a little
out of control. Houses were expensive and there was no way they could settle on
one if Penny kept discarding options after options on a whim.
The pink walls, green windows, orange tiled roof, and the tiny
garden made Penny let out a squeal of delight. It was the perfect doll house
that she was looking for.
