Chapter 184: Architectural Greatness

"Jesse, come right in. Did you have trouble finding the place?" Drew is first to recover from his shock.

Jesse uses an index finger to push his glasses further up his nose. "You weren't lying when you said the big blue Victorian would be hard to miss." The words sound snotty.

This house is a piece of architectural greatness. He better hope he didn't snub it. Drew pats me on the shoulder, aware I'm seconds away from kicking our potential new roommate out. This place is my baby, and it costs as much as one to live here, too.

"Well, let us give you a tour of the place." With both hands on my shoulders Drew turns me around. "As you see the large living room," he says as we walk toward the kitchen his arm gesturing to the left.

"Do you often keep the curtains open like that?"

Drew's steps stall, and he whips his head to the left looking at the curtains. "Uh... I don't know." We share a look between us, and I lift a shoulder in response. He's on his own for this one.
