*Eighteen months after the world stopped ending. Hawkins is quiet now. I'm a teacher and a coach; you're a nurse. We got married and have been saving every extra dollar for a house.

Plus, housing here is practically free. Me and you are checking out a few places." "Buying a house? That's commitment," *Nancy remarks from behind me, the ice in her drink rattling as she takes a sip.*
