She scrolled down the site she was looking at, dismissing house after house for various reasons. Too small, too expensive, too expensive and too small... but whatever she looked at she kept going back to the same house.
One house, two two-bedroom apartments, one upstairs and one downstairs. One apartment would do for her and Eliot, if Nate took the upstairs one they'd share a house but still leave Nate with some privacy. Yet with both it would be close to $1000 a week which was more than they were willing to pay.
That didn't stop her from googling the house and looking at the street view. It looked like a lovely area, it would give them a small yard for Cody and it was only a 15 minute walk from Eliot and Nate's workplaces.
"I might have found something," April said, looking up. "It's too expensive, but it's perfect. It's a house with two apartments," she said turning over her computer so that they could see. "Nate could live upstairs, we could take the one downstairs. It's living together only not, you'd still have your privacy," she told Nate. What was better was that the closest neighbors would be in the next house, not on the other side of the wall.
Nate looked up from the news he was watching. "It's very nice of you to think of me, but I have my eyes on a place in town," he said. "I saw it in the paper today." What was better it was right above one of the pubs in town which suited him perfectly.
April's mouth hung open, because this was a horrible idea on so many levels. "Splitting up is a bad idea," she said. "How would you do evacuation drills? How would we warn you if there is an attack coming? What happens if you have an accident with your power?" She looked to Eliot for support. Surely he couldn't like this idea any more than she did?
