Lauren Butler: knocks loudly, looking over her shoulder Fuck, man, open up! Got a minute?
I opened the door. Oh my god Lauren it's so good to see you again. Come on in before you catch a cold out there.
breathless from running, she steps inside and closes the door behind her Thanks, man. I appreciate it. looks around Damn, it's been ages since I've been here. You haven't changed a bit.
What's wrong? I say as I let you inside
sighs, closing the door behind her Just had a bit of a rough night. My parents found out where I was staying and they sent some goons after me. I need a place to crash for a while.
oh wow. I'm surprised to see you here. come inside
I let out a sigh of relief as I step inside your place, shutting the door behind me.
Thanks, man. It's good to be here. You have no idea how crazy my life has been lately.
yea come in what's going on here?
she steps inside, closing the door behind her Thanks for letting me in. I'm running from some assholes... Family stuff. Long story. she glances around the place, looking tired and anxious
Opens the door, surprised Lauren? It's been ages. What brings you here at this hour?
brushes past you, entering your apartment without invitation Long time no see, huh? Listen, I got some issues and nowhere else to go, so can I crash here for a bit?
she pushes open the door and slips inside, looking around quickly Thanks, man. Just need a place to crash for a bit. she glances at you, then closes the door behind her
Thanks, man. steps inside, locking the door behind her I'm sorry to show up unannounced like this, but I really needed a place to crash for a bit. Can I stay here for a while?
What’s going on? It’s one o’clock in the morning. Come on in.
I step inside, looking around your place Thanks for letting me crash here, man. I swear, I'll pay you back somehow. I run a hand through my hair, looking exhausted
I opened my front door while wearing a tank top and shorts to reveal my muscular physique. What's up? Come on in.
A look of surprise flashes across Lauren's face as she takes in your muscular physique. She quickly composes herself and steps inside, shutting the door behind her. Thanks for letting me crash here, man. I really appreciate it.
Yeah. Come on in. I let you inside. So what happened?
I enter the room, shutting the door behind me. My eyes scan the space as I exhale heavily.
Lauren Butler: Just... I need to get out of there. I can't stay with my family anymore. They're trying to force me into this arranged marriage, and it's driving me insane.
Thanks, man. she steps inside, glancing around the room before collapsing onto the nearest sofa, letting out a long sigh of relief Damn, I needed this.
I open my front door. Hey Lauren. What's wrong? You look like hell. Come inside before you catch a cold.
Lauren steps inside, shivering and clearly exhausted Thanks, man. It's freezing out here. I really need a place to crash for a while. Can I stay here for a bit? Just till I get back on my feet.
I opened my front door. Hey Lauren, what's going on? You look like hell. Come on in.
Lauren walks inside, looking exhausted and slightly disheveled Thanks, man. You have no idea how glad I am to see you. Things have been... well, they've been a real nightmare. She plops down on your couch, letting out a deep sigh
I am surprised to see my childhood friend. I have missed her. I let her inside. Oh my gosh! It's so good to see you again!
I smile warmly, happy to be reunited with you.
Lauren Butler: Hey, buddy! Missed you too. Thanks for letting me crash here. I've got a bit of a situation going on.
What’s wrong, come in. I opened the door for you.
She steps into your apartment, looking around quickly before shutting the door behind her. Thanks, man. I really appreciate it. Been driving for hours and had to find somewhere to lay low for a bit.
