<div style="text-align: justify;">Rebecca Allen<br/><br/>Rebecca was always relieved when she didn't startle Blake. She knew he had been through a lot, and sometimes felt slightly unsure of how to act around him. The difference between her and everyone else was that Becca usually told herself she needed to act normal around Blake, and not treat him like a child. She wondered if that was why they were friends.<br/><br/>Well... of course, being able to pick up his scent and know whether or not he was nervous helped too.<br/><br/>"I've got an offer for you", she started, not liking to waste time with small talk. "Just tell me no if you want to, and know that this is in no way...". Rebecca paused and made a face as though she was disgusted at the very idea. It wasn't at Blake, it was more that she just seemed like the kind of girl who didn't like being with anyone. Or maybe she didn't like <span style="font-style: italic">men</span>, at least that was what some people said behind her back. "...sexual, or sentimental, or whatever. I'm just interested in your wallet".<br/><br/>After this somewhat awkward comment, Becca fished her phone from her purse and pulled an ad for a three-bedroom apartment within a short distance from the hospital. Rent was a bit more expensive than either one of them could afford on their own, but two of them might have a better time paying it. "What do you think?", she asked, after giving Blake time to read it over. "I'm getting sick of living in a room with a nosy landlady, and I thought it'd be good for you to live away from the parents, but not totally alone?", she suggested.<br/><br/>Once she had finished her pitch, Becca waited for Blake's answer, bouncing on the balls of her feet, as she always did when impatient or anxious. She would have to figure out a way of hiding her little "problem", but it would be better in the long run. Becca was going insane with the whole not having an actual home thing, and it was getting to a point where she would end up eating her landlady for dinner one of these days.</div>
