Landlady drops by with plumber to check on leak into apartment below. LL acts surprised when R’s say the water pressure hasn’t magically gotten better. LL schedules apt to have plumber come back and fix leak to lower apt, (no word on our crappy pressure).
R’s both pull out calenders and discuss entire summer, then spilt, R1 to bedroom, R2 to kitchen (aka home office).
*silence for 5 minutes*
R1- Oh, right, friday Other girl I know is having a party.
R2- Oh really? Coincidence, a friend told me that Girl you know is looking for a new roommate in June, but I told her neither of us were moving out that soon.
R1- *looks away* *silence*
R2- what? *panic rising* Are you planning on moving out that soon?
R1- . . . You might want to go look at the place, its cute.
R2- Wait, what are you saying?
r1 goes into long story about how she plans to quit her job in July if not sooner, and needs to find new place to live, in south brooklyn, before that.
r2 has internal freak out
r2 calls sig other, scheduling time for long shower to complusively go over situation before sig other arrives.

r2 still freaking out, but is maintaining facade of person who is on top of it… barely.

It’s too small for three, but Becky used to live there with a roommate before we got married.
