Her friend came up beside her and slipped a hand into Dana’s.“Isn’t it?”Bethany rested her head on Dana’s shoulder.“The view alone makes it worth the price I pay in rent,trust me.I know it’s small,but it’s bigger than our dorm room.”
Dana looked around.“It is that.”
“And there’s a kitchen,”Bethany pointed out,“which we didn’t have at college.And our own bathroom.My futon’s big enough for two.It folds out into a full-size bed.”
She nodded at the sofa,which Dana now realized really wasa futon.With a grin,Dana said,“You’re trying to sell this hard,aren’t you?”
The hand in hers squeezed.“I’m lonely,”Bethany admitted.“It isn’t just Terrance,either,so don’t say I’m just upset.I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.”
“Taking in a roommate?”Dana asked.
Bethany shook her head,ruffling her curls.“Not just any roommate.You.”
“So what did happen between you and Terrance?”Dana wanted to know.
