“You’re overthinking it. I just don’t want to lose my way to the new apartment if something happens to you.”
“You’re lying.”
Flossie smiled, wrapping herself in the warmth of the coat.
Eventually, they made their way back to their new home.
Flossie opened the door, inviting Benny inside. “How do you find it?

The apartment was adorned in shades of pink, with pictures of Flossie adorning the walls.
Flossie strolled over to Benny with a hopeful gleam in her eyes. “So, what do you think?”
Benny sidestepped her question. “You did all this?”
He gestured towards the photo wall.

Once she composed herself, Flossie began taking down the photos, one by one.
As Benny held the last one, he glanced at Flossie, silent. Then he headed into the bathroom, the sound of running water filling the air.
Watching the bathroom door, Flossie remained rooted to the spot.
She figured Benny wouldn’t stand for a pink room, given his vibe.
