The unit 5D (1)

Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

A hallway had five doors and Duke started his tour by gesturing to the first door on the right, "This is a storage, and the next door is the room which I'm using when I work from home." He gestured to the left. "That is the bathroom, the next door is my bedroom. Straight ahead is the living area with kitchen."

I didn't peek into bedrooms or the bathroom, fearing that I might find something compromising. We went to the living area that had a balcony accessible through the sliding doors.

The furniture was clean, but it showed it was not new.

The whole place smelled of pine trees mixed with the ocean and a smile crept on my face. I love that scent!

Because of Duke's warning, I imagined an apartment buried in papers and dirty underwear, but I found it to be rather normal. It seems that he was overly cautious about leaving a good impression and I found that to be super-cute.
