Marìa,for the first time in a long while, was actually relaxing.
Her apartment had been upgraded to resemble those five star hotels, and she didn't even have to worry about fixing anything.
Usually, an apartment upgrade meant an increase in rent, but not this time. Her tenants were like family to her, and she knew of the struggles each underwent, so a sudden rent increase would make them uncomfortable.
With a sigh, she leaned back on her couch.
Being this comfortable felt strange, so much so that it almost felt like a calm before the storm.
"I can't be thinking like that," She muttered, shaking her head, before switching her line of thinking, "I wonder how Ethan how Ethan is doing."
Speaking of which, she looked at her wrist where a high quality smart watch was strapped.
It was a gift from Ethan, one he had instructed her to never take off. The expression he had when giving it to her showed that he was completely serious.
He even seemed a bit...scared?
