A red Mustang pulled into the lot, accompanied by a rooster tail of dust.
- An exotic-looking woman with a mane of bright Auburn hair stepped out, and Dolly Parton’s Jolene came to Polly’s mind.
She wore a knit tank top tucked into a printed sarong skirt that revealed long bare legs and a pair of jeweled sandals. As the woman headed towards the house’s entrance, Polly caught a glimpse of her face. flawless brown skin, sharp features, and full lips covered with pink lipgloss. Polly thought there was no way that was the heating technician the heating company had sent. Her short but shapely nails were well-manicured, and there was no way they could handle tools during heater maintenance. Polly had called the heating dealer to deliver a HEPA filter and fix the smart thermostat. Polly felt frumpy with her plaid shirt and jeans and, for a moment, felt the need to learn more about the heating; it could improve her fashion sense. She introduced herself as the homeowner, and the lady introduced herself as the HVAC professional the heating business had sent. Polly hid her shock well and showed her to the heat pump installation. The filter was okay, but she voiced her opinion of getting a HEPA filter next to determine if it would improve the air quality. The tech then inspected the heat pump to ensure everything was okay. She was thorough in avoiding repair where necessary. A lady had never worked on the whole home heating system since its installation, so Polly was so happy to finally get help with indoor comfort from a fellow woman. Even as she left, Daisy still had difficulty processing what had transpired; who knew there were beauty queens even in the heating industry? Her unit now ran like a new heating system.
