There were only two apartment units on this floor. One was home to Natalie and her two children, while the other was unoccupied.

If it were not for her staying up late, Shane might end up lying along the corridor the whole night.

“I live here.” Half-asleep, he shook his head to try to stay awake and replied hoarsely.
