After finally finding an apartment she liked, the deal fell through. Unaware of the underlying tension, the assistant immediately apologized. "Ms. Evert, this is my fault. I'll be much more careful next time."
Marina laughed. "It has nothing to do with you. Just keep looking."

Marina couldn't help but smile. "What tier of service are we talking?"
"At least the same standard as when you visited H City!" Erin teased.
"You got it," Marina said breezily.
"I'm going to be too excited to sleep tonight!" Erin clicked her tongue.
"Nerd," Marina chuckled.
