The Day I Walked Away From Both of Them

The day before we moved into the new place, Lauren Henson tagged me in our little three-person group chat.

"Go pull the registration info from the county records office, would you."

I opened the lookup tool, and there it was: the new owner listed on the deed was my buddy Aiden Quill.

The change had gone through three days ago.

Before I could even type, the messages started rolling in.

Aiden: 【I won! I told her you trusted her too much to go check the deed early. You owe me a Michelin-star dinner!】
