Double standard

Rachel was relieved it hadn't taken a long time to convince her parents to let her move. She had wanted to move out earlier but after last night, she became resolute on the decision to leave.

"Would you like me to go inside with you?" James asked as he pulled over in front of the apartment. He had offered to help her move so he drove her there. He also had a lot on his mind and needed the break.

He had been considering this morning to ask Mira if she was interested in dating, but he hadn't gotten the chance to because he got his answer when Mira told her parents that she wanted to focus on herself first. Of course, he was happy for her and was going to be supportive of her decision, but it just kind of hurt him for himself, knowing that they wouldn't go further, at least for now.

"I'll be out soon. I'm not taking much with me." Rachel said quietly with her eyes on the building.
