Chapter 13 - SELLING THE VILLA

Everyone expected me to keep the villa.

I sold it.

My attorney asked twice whether I was certain.

“Yes.”

My father loved that house.

I loved parts of it.

The garden.

The library.

The fountain.

But I did not owe architecture loyalty.

The balcony was not Brandon’s forever.

Neither was it mine.

A family bought the property.

Two children.

A dog.

The sale was ordinary.

Title work.

Inspection.

Closing.

Taxes.

No dramatic destruction.

I used part of the proceeds to buy a smaller home.

Single story.

Not because I was afraid of balconies.

I was tired of stairs after months of rehabilitation.

Practicality can look symbolic from the outside.

Sometimes it is just knees.
