• Spent the day after Thanksgiving in Shallotte with Crystal's friends. We drank Coronas and went to a strip club! It was, uh, educational.

He had my rental history for my current apartment, and showed me how I'd been a month behind since I'd been living there. He never mentioned that I'd lived in another App South building for a year with no problems.
