*he frowns as he slowly, carefully, wraps his arm around her shoulders to pull her against him as they begin to walk, him guiding her in the right direction* i’m sorry to hear that… b-but from what i hear there’s going to be an apartment in my block up for lease soon a-and we allow pets? i mean, i mean. that, that if you want to move somewhere better? i dunno how b-big your apartment is though maybe you won’t fit all your things here…
n-nevermind. silly idea. *he smiles as they stop at a crosswalk, waiting for it to be safe to cross*
She looked up at him, her eyes wide as an excitement curls in her chest, refusing to leave. “R-Really? Is it cheap? I live in a Housing 8 unit so the government sort of helps me pay for it. You don’t get much of a salary on a camera person’s salary alone. I should probably get a second job in fact but I…I would love to move…my apartment is actually in an old building and the sink barely works. I always have to fiddle with it to wash my dishes and the paint has lead in it. It’s really small too so I don’t really have a lot of stuff.”
Would she be able to afford it? If she did get that second job maybe. Where would she work? Perhaps charging people for taking pictures?
it’s pretty cheap i mean, you, you’ve seen how small my place is… *he laughs awkwardly as they begin to cross the street* it, it’s a good price. around five hundred a month, basically one hundred a week? th, that includes water and heating too…
*he rubbed her arm gently, hopefully not in an awkward way, as they walk down the street. it isn’t too late thankfully, and the cloudy skies above are still thick with snow but not dropping their load just yet*
p-penny for your thoughts?
