Hearts revival (a follow up from the North and South tale)

The BBC 20

What will I make for supper?? The same old question. We've had too much unhealthy for today already so something really healthy is required. Lazily and unwillingly I leave the reclining chair. I love afternoons like this. Lying around in the sun, chilling with my sis, the girls and Lu entertained because they have friends over and the sun hot but not too hot. I don't feel guilty I have worked all morning. BUT now it's time for supper. I 'll make my way to the greenhouse. I think I will make enchiladas, vegetarian of cause, to make up for the cake and ice cream we had been sponsored by my dad. 

Suddenly I hear my older daughter calling from the kitchen window: "Mom telephone for you!" Quickly I gather two more tomatoes and then I make for the house. I call up to her: " I'll be up in a minute." I run up the stairs not wanting to let the caller wait. Lisbeth passes me the phone at the top of the stairs. 

"Hallo," I say in German. 

"Good evening, is this Mrs. Hefner speaking," an English speaking person, a man?  

"Yes, that's me," I say curious who this might be. Some sort of scam probably.

"And are you also known under the name of Ladyschneefee?" 

"I suppose, I use that name on wattpad," I wonder what this could be about and I'm beginning to worry that I have perhaps violated some conduct concerning wattpad. Have I? No, it can't be that.

"Mrs. Hefner, this is Gordon Jonson from the BBC in London. We have our eyes and ears everywhere in search for new ideas and sources. We would like to make a sequel to North and South and we would like to use your ideas you used in your wattpad book 'Hearts revival'. That is your story I believe, your writing?"

I have to process for a moment what has been said, I don't really believe what I hear here. Somebody is taking the mick out of me: "This is a joke isn't it?" I ask.

Gordon Jonson or whatever his name is is quiet for a while: "I'm sorry Mrs. Hefer that you should think so. How can I help you to believe that I really am calling from the BBC?"

I'm not sure really. "Not sure," I say. 

"So let's say, I really am from the BBC would you allow us to produce your idea?" He asks me next. 

"Yes, I suppose, I would be honored." Could it be? Really? impossible!

"Alright, Mrs. Hefner you will hear from us and then I hope we will be able to convince you." He says his voice slightly amused. He says his goodbyes and I'm left totally utterly confused and flabbergasted. I tell my family and I call my sis who is already home. I even mention it on wattpad. 

It takes about a week before I hear from them again. A letter, which really seems to be from the BBC. I try to think of possible ways this could be a scam. I should call them back if I am still interested. Alright, so I call them back, nervous as anything. IF this is true.......

This time, I speak with a Lady called Alison Sparrow. After I explained a little bit she knows what this is all about. She gets that Gordon guy for me. 

"Now, Mrs. Hefner. If you are still interested in letting us use your ideas to produce a sequel we would like to invite you to come to London to sign a confirmation or otherwise, we can send somebody out to you?" 

No, if this is all real I would really like to take the chance to go to London and to the BBC studios but I hate being parted from my family. This gives me an idea: "What about my family, could they come to London too?" I ask I will only go if they can come too.

That should be possible says Gordon so and so. No way, that would be so cool! "Then I would like to come to London," I say and my heart is racing.
