"It's nice to meet you Kizzy. Nah, don't worry about the shop. It is usually dead now till the after work crowd comes through anyway." If only to illustrate her point, Cait waived her hand to the dead street in front of her shop before that same hand raked through the long messy bangs that had fallen out of her braids and now hung around her jawline.<br/><br/>She felt nervous all of a sudden. Kizzy, was it? She was already talking money and she hadn't even seen the place yet. Cait hoped it worked out. She would also have rent due to her landlord soon. And god forbid he come by to collect and see the "apartment for rent" sign in the front window. That was the last thing she needed.<br/><br/>"There wouldn't be any deposit needed. Just a sublet agreement and first months rent. I am really looking for someone to just help me get by." She began to walk towards the back room, and turned, silently ushering Kizzy to follow her with a flick of her wrist. She headed into the back storeroom and used a key to unlock the basement apartment door. It was a short well-lit walk into the main living area. "The rent I had hoped to asked for was $575 a month and then whoever would be splitting the utilities down the middle with me - which is trash, electric for lights and heat, water, cable, and internet. All and all it's been running about two hundred a month. But if you were serious about helping out at the store, I could see just making it an easy $600 a month." Cait wasn't trying to make a killing after all. This was just a way to make ends meet while she found a way to make her business more profitable.<br/><br/>"Take a look around. It's fully furnished but I'll help move anything in you want. There is an entrance to the back parking lot and a parking space for ya. There are windows along the side and back wall. Dishwasher and working stove. No microwave but I have one upstairs in my place if you need it." Cait plopped down on the couch and did her best not to follow Kizzy around like a lost puppy. She didn't know this girl from Eve but it felt like a good match.<br/><br/><em>I just hope this works out. </em>
