Penny

Penny was a very talented designer. She enjoyed curating the exhibits for famous American museums. She 30 ______ ever took on private decorating clients, because she didn’t want to be limited by other people’s ideas and tastes. And the hub of all her creative activities was Washington. Her husband, Steve, didn’t think it would be fair to ask her to move to Oregon for him. Normally, he wouldn’t have 31 ______ it, but the job he’d been offered was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He 32 ______ if he could do it for a couple of years, but if the business was a success, he’d want to stay longer. His kids wouldn’t 33 ______ a move either. The offer in Oregon had come the first week of school. Jack had just started his senior year of high school, and would be 34 ______ to college that fall. Their daughter Nelly was a junior, and firmly embedded in her life in Washington. The prospect of moving at sixteen and seventeen would horrify them both. Only Dan, their six-year old son, wouldn’t have any 35 ______, as long as he was with them. He had just started first grade.

Penny was in Boston for the day, consulting with a museum about the show they wanted her to curate in two years. He didn’t know if he’d 36 ______ her about the offer or even whether he should. Why upset her about a job he wasn’t going to take? But the investors wanted him to go to Oregon and meet them that week to discuss it further, and he was tempted to.
