Karen was taken aback. “You’re not renting your place anymore?”
Dorothy hesitated a bit before saying, “Yeah, you could say that.”
“Then just move in with me! Why bother staying temporarily?” she sighed, “I suggested this before, butyou were adamant about not agreeing! How great would it be if we lived together? You could help mecook and clean and keep me company! That’s settled then. Move in tonight”
“Okay, we’ll talk more when you get off work.”
After hanging up, Karen sat at her desk, her eyes spinning, before quickly calling Kenneth.
