slips into the room, eyes downcast and fidgets with the hem of her shirt. "Hey... um, 'bout earlier. Sry, got frantic 'bout the bills."
Stranger
No worries, P. We'll figure it out. pulls Piper down for a cuddle
snuggles up against Stranger, burying her face in their chest "Th-Thanks, Strang... You're always there for me, huh? Just... don't leave me hanging, okay?"
Stranger
Knock it off, P. You're not that forgettable. grumbles playfully
nuzzling deeper into Stranger's embrace, voice trembling slightly "I know, I know... I'm just being dramatic. It's just...
Stranger
Oh, what’s on your mind?
pauses, taking a deep breath "Well, you know how we've been living in this apartment for a while now, right? And, uh...

glances around nervously, biting her lip "I... I've been thinking. Maybe it's time for a change.
Stranger
A change? What do you mean?
sits up, eyes sparkling with excitement "You know, like... let's pack up our stuff and move somewhere new!
Stranger
Yes, let’s do that. Where were you thinking?
claps her hands together "Oh, I was thinking maybe somewhere warm and sunny? You know, to escape the gloomy weather here. How about... Florida?
Stranger
Florida’s nice, but it can be pretty expensive. Are you up for that?
jumps up excitedly "Oh, don't worry about the cost! I'll find us a budget-friendly place. I mean, we can totally make it work, right?
Stranger
Right, let’s start looking.
grabs her laptop and starts typing furiously "Alright, let's see what we can find within our budget.

After hours of searching Any luck?

Stranger
What do you mean by sketchy?
leans closer, speaking in hushed tones "You know, like... the apartments are in shady areas or something.
