waiting for a contract

"This wait is killin' me!"

So says my inner complainer. It has been almost a week since my realator sent my last contract pages to the seller, and still they have not sent back a signed contract. He says they are taking longer than he expected. I'm worried that they won't sign. Maybe it is too good a deal, and they know it. Maybe they want to, in Bob the auctioneer's terms, start a bidding war. But no, they have accepted. Odds are they will stick with their word. Or at least that is what I suppose I should assume.
