Chapter 15
Valerie looked at the breakfast on the table after Matthew left, feeling lost. She thought Matthew would be a big eater, but he ate less than her. She didn’t want to waste the food, so she put it in the fridge for her banch.
Then, Katherine called. Valerie was a workaholic and never took a day off. Katherine thought she might be sick and wanted to make sure she was okay
Tim fine, Katherine. I took a day off to move,” said Valerie.
help with that. Give me your address” said Katherine
“You’re moving? Why didn’t you tell me? It’s my day off today. I can help
‘Actually, I didn’t know I was moving until yesterday, thought Valerie.
Katherine insisted, so Valerie could only give her the address. It was an old apartment. When Katherine was there, Valerie was dragging her things downstairs. “Sorry, I was delayed on the road. Which room do you live in? I’ll go get your stuff”
Katherine was about to rush upstairs when Valerie stopped her and said. “No need for that. All my stuff is here.”
Katherine stared in disbelief at Valerie’s belongings: a suitcase, two boxes, a backpack, and a microwave. “All of them!” Katherine loved shopping like many girls did, and she thought her clothes alone could fill five big suitcases
Valerie thought for a moment and took a metal cage from behind her back. In the cage was a hamster. “There’s also this one.
Valerie wasn’t stingy, but she was born into a poor family. As she grew up, she never had a strong sense of financial security. For this reason, she was always cautious about spending, especially on larger items. She would carefully consider whether she could take them with her if she ever had to move and whether they were truly necessary. Over time, this minimalist lifestyle grew on her.
Even this hamster was not her idea. It was left behind by the last tenant, who left in a hurry. The hamster had a bald ear, so nobody wanted it Valerie felt bad for it and took it in.
Katherine pulled a wry face, took the cage from Valerie with one hand, and grabbed the microwave with the other. Seeing that there were still two cardboard boxes left on the ground, she remembered something and shouted towards the white BMW behind her “Caleb, come and help!”.
Only then did Valerie notice there was someone else. A lean, frivolous boy got our of the car. He yawned while walking over as if he could lie down and sleep on the road any time. “You got me up too early. I think I’m going to pass out any minute. Don’t you ever do that again,” he said.
“Come on. I have my reason” Katherine said softly. Then she introduced this boy to Valerie “Caleb Lane, my boyfriend.”
Valerie smiled at him and said, “Sorry, I didn’t know she was bringing you. Thank you for the help
Caleb stopped yawning and said, “You’re the friend Katherine talked about so much. Don’t worry, It’s just a small favor. You’ve helped her a lot”
For a moment, Valerie fch she was measured from head to toe. But Caleb carried the boxes to his car after finishing his words, so Valerie thought it might be her misperception.
After getting into the car, Katherine told Valerie how she met Caleb. They met while playing a game in which Caleb was quite skilled. When someone began to bully Katherine during the game, Caleb helped her out. Over time, they got to know each other and found out that they lived in the same city. They decided to meet in person and eventually fell in love.
Caleb was now a full–time streamer with a decent income, but working until midnight was a common occurrence. He streamed until 2:00 am today. Katherine hoped he could switch to a more stable job.
