But, sure, fine, he'd indulge her. Again. "I bought this building," he said, indicating the roof beneath him incase she decided to be unclear about which building he meant. "I've been watching the pathway that the rents and the property taxes around here are taking, and I saw what it was going to do to your and your family if it continued, so I have stopped it. I'm dropping your rent." He unfolded his legs and sat forward, leaning toward her, his forearms on his knees, hands handing casually loose, though there was nothing casual in his voice, in case she thought it was a joke. "You don't have to worry about trying to afford to live here, ever again."
