Chapter 72: Welcome Home

Dane

As she scanned the room, Dane tried to see the studio apartment as she must, for the first time.

The door opened straight into the living area which was a good size, but filled with thick, comfortable furniture.

To her left was a thick, leather sectional placed in a U-shape around a fireplace with a television over it. Just ahead and to her right was a small dining area with a table that could probably seat six at a pinch. And behind that, a small but obviously well stocked kitchen. There was a short hallway and a couple doors beyond the living area, but the whole place was maybe as big as her apartment, if he was being generous. But with rich, dark walls, a plush, light colored carpet, the newest appliances, and obviously high quality furniture… The only thing he couldn't stand about this place was the lack of windows. But for what it was designed to be, he had to live with it. It added to the sense of escape, when he could bear it.
