It was move-in day for 21 year old Charlette. She had found that Paul, the son of one of her dad's good friends, had a room open for rent for a decent price. She hadn't known him that well- Their dads had been friends for 30+ years but did not see each other very often due to living in different places so it was not like their kids had grown up together, and in fact, Charlette was about ten years younger than Paul. They had met once in person, about a year previously, when Charlette and her family were invited to stay with their family at the vacation home they had in Hawaii. They had been a little flirty there.. She liked him. He was gentlemanly, kind, caring, and could be very charming. He was kind of an outdoorsy ruggedy type who was into wildlife photography and enjoyed exploring the beaches and forests a short drive from the house.<br/><br/>Charlette had decided to move back to Shady Grove to continue her nursing degree. She knew that Paul lived there but did not know he had a room for rent until he replied to her ad online and they had reconnected. Her lease was up at her old place. She was looking forward to moving in with him... Her boyfriend, Dave, was not too fond of the idea. Charlette was beginning to not be too fond of him. They had been together for a few months but he was a drinker and had already been caught cheating before. Why she gave him another chance she never quite understood herself because that was one thing that she really did not like- being made to look like a fool. Dave lived further away, and already had "roommates" she'd never met so his opinion of her moving in did not matter too much to her. He would just have to trust her.<br/><br/>Charlette pulled up to the small little rustic wooded lot with the cute little fenced yard and little front deck in her little red Volkswagen, and a big white Chevy pickup pulled into the driveway behind her. She got out and out of the pickup one of her best girl friends, Charlene got out. She and Charlene weren't the type that were afraid of a little hard work and could get lots accomplished together. Charlene let the tailgate down and the two began to unload boxes, a few in each of their arms at a time, and began to load them into the bedroom that would be Charlette's.
