Sarah blinked and slowed her approach as the broad shouldered guy... 'um Rick.' her mind reminded her after a moment, appeared to be hunkere over at one of the couches.  She moved closer and off to the side wondering what he was doing but didn't wonder long as he leane back, puffing on what could only be a joint.  She shook her head, pretty sure he didn't know she was there and just watched him then drink from a full beer and slowly exhale the smoke above him.   He was wide and she knew from experience what those muscles would be capable of.  Sarah was a little scared of him, or more importantly what he might represent of Mike but she frowned and tried to tell that nagging little voice that you don't throw away all the apples for a single bad one.  She moved a bit closer to the kitchen side of the room when she heard a noise coming from within and smiled at Rick as she passed.  "Hi Rick." she said and moved on towards the kitchen.<br/><br/>Sarah was surprised to find Erik looking around the kitchen.   She noticed some boxed that looked like they came from a bakery but just figured it was included with the house.  That thought triggered another 'odd, I don't remember seeing anything about paying for this week?' she pondered this for a little bit.   Sarah looked up to see Erik looking at her and she smiled, filing away the question for later.  "Hi Erik is it?  With a C I suppose?  I'm Sarah.  Um... Where are you from?" she spluttered out her introduction and groaned silently thinking she sounded like a moron to the first cute guy she had talked to since... Well before Mike.   Sarah also tried to keep an eye on the main room to make sure she didn't miss Natalie, feeling like she needed to keep an eye on her too.
