As soon as Regan had told him the date, Lane had begun the countdown to move-in day. It wasn’t like he had much to move, himself; he was pretty sure he’d be mostly helping Regan move her things, which was fine with him. It would make him feel useful, since he hadn’t been able to contribute much to the rent payment.
He’d manage to pack up his small bag in just a few minutes. The bag was a reusable shopping bag, and the contents were a couple of changes of clothes and the rest of his small treasures, the ones he’d gotten between giving Regan what he could to help with the payment and actually moving in. Nothing very good, but he had gotten enough quarters to wash all his spare clothing at the laundromat before packing it. That, he felt, was an important start to a new life.
The apartment number he’d memorized was repeating over and over in his head as he took the stairs in the building to the third floor. 301, and he was pretty sure Regan would already be there waiting. He hoped so, anyway, since he didn’t have a key and it would probably look pretty bad to linger outside in the hall waiting, no matter how clean his clothes were. The last thing he needed was his new neighbors judging him before he’d even officially living there.
The numbers on the apartment door stared him down, and he read them three - no, four - times before deciding that he was actually at the right place. Taking a deep breath, he raised his fist and knocked. This was it.
