Erika "I'm glad you came to your senses. Living alone doesn't do anything good for anyone."
Erika "Lighten up, dear. Maybe you'll find a new friend in her?"
Chase "I don't need a friend."
Erika "Oh, is that so? I still remember finding a starving man in my garden, hands full of apples. I've helped you a lot in the name of friendship!"
Chase "...I haven't forgotten." She helped me to get a house, but never let me stay in hers. "Your family friend can rent my roof if she accepts the terms. What more do you want?"
Erika "Hush, she's returning. Let's save her from this argument, shall we?"
Erika "Did you like the space, dear?"
Blair "The energy up there is perfect. I instantly hit it off with those flowers and the trees have a cool wavelength, too."
Chase "We should discuss the details of the contract-"
Blair "Sure, give me the paper and I'll put my name on it. Gotta be quick, I have a friend dropping my stuff here at any minute."
Chase "What? We haven't yet agreed-"
Blair "It's hard to find anyone who owns a van and isn't already overbooked, I was damn lucky to get him to help me. Oh, I'm so vibing this. I feel connected to this place already."
Erika "Seems like it's settled, then! Chase, dear, do you need help finding those papers of yours?"
Chase ...I only offered an opportunity yet Erika took it as a promise. I don't need anything from her. I can throw them both out...
I shouldn't let my annoyance cloud rational choice. I'm still lacking crucial components. For now, the rent income will secure the development process.
