“I see. Would you like to drop by my place for a while? The weather is freezing today,” offered Sasha, who would swear that she was just making small talk when she made that offer.

She never expected him to take up on that offer immediately. “Sure,” replied Solomon, “I happen to have a few law books for you. These are the books you asked me to buy for you earlier. I’ll take them to your place.”

Sasha didn’t know how to respond to that.

Shoot! I forgot all about this. Is it too late now to tell him that I won’t take the matter to court?

In the end, Sasha brought that man to the place she rented.

The season was changing, and winter was right around the corner, so it was actually pretty cold. The place was too old, and both the windows and walls were too thin, so no one felt warmer after Sasha opened the door. In fact, walking into the house made one feel even colder.

Solomon circled around the house absent-mindedly.

 

That was only the second time he went into that house, but he didn’t seem unfamiliar with the place.

“Nancy, this place is too old, and it’s not warm enough. Would you like to rent another place?”
