I thought about a lot of things after what happened to Shannon, including if I should still remain to live at Marius’ place. So much so that I had two heavy bags under my eyes when I woke up the next day.
After washing my face with clean water to wake myself up, I applied some concealer to cover up the dark areas under my eyes.
After having something to eat, I rushed over to Tyler and Susan’s.
They bought another house in the city center and moved in after getting married for convenience's sake. Susan's previous apartment was vacant, and I went over precisely for this apartment.
I was lucky they were at home when I arrived. Tyler opened the door, and I passed him the gift I had bought. Susan welcomed me warmly.
“What’s with this? You only need to bring yourself when you come over. It looks so extravagant.” Susan gave me a reproachful look. I smiled and sat down on the sofa with her.
Tyler washed a plate of cherries and put it on the table, beckoning me to eat.
I was so worried about things that I had no appetite. I did not even bother giving a warning and went straight to the point. “Ty, Susan, I’d like to beg you guys of one thing.”
Tyler and Susan looked at each other, wholly influenced by the solemnity that I was expressing.
“What is it, Wandy? Tell us. I won’t refuse you as long as it’s something that I can do.” Tyler deliberately appeared righteous and awe-inspiring. That brightened up the atmosphere somewhat.
An inexplicable emotion surged in my heart when I looked at the two individuals sitting across from me.
While we were not biological siblings, we were like family.
“Susan, is your apartment still available?” I asked about the situation first just in case.
Susan shook her head without any hesitation when she heard it.
She was definitely aware of why I asked. I was moved and gave voice to my request. “Can I rent that apartment? I’ll pay you according to the market price.”
