Moving in

[ct_digitalpage]

Yancey and I finally got to check out of the hotel today. Such a relief. Maybe we don't have any furniture for the apartment yet, and we'll have to break out the sleeping bag again, but at least we'll have a space of our own ... and I don't have to keep worrying about fooling the credit card reader anymore.Today I'm going to start accepting bids

*peeks through window and sees Cathy in back of store*
*raps lightly on it to get her attention*

*looks up, startled, then smiles at Evalon and hurries to the door*

Hi! C'mon in ... the place is still....

*looks around*

Well, it's not a mess, because the owners didn't let it become one, but there's just not much to it right now.

[evalon]

*smiles*

it looks like you've done more than i have in my store, even without anything in here. i've been kind of distracted lately.

did you find anyone to help with the rewiring yet?

[ct_digitalpage]

No, but I have placed some requests for bids. Some of it I'd need to do myself--you remember the "special" features my old monitoring system had? That took hands-on work ... after the electrician had finished and his work had passed inspection.

*looks at the walls*

I can't figure out what color paint I'd like ... this is different enough from the old store that I don't want to try and reproduce what I had. And I need to remember to order business stationary--I need to get used to saying I'm on DeKnight Road. Was there a DeKnight Road back home? I can't remember, but I really wasn't in our Sunnydale for that long.

*glances upstairs and smiles* The apartment's different, too, luckily. Big enough for the two of us.

[evalon]

gods, Cathy....i haven't felt this way about someone since Patrick....maybe i did, but i don't remember. you know the issues i have about getting serious with anyone, and i don't have to worry about that getting in the way here....he's immortal.

*smiles wryly*

yeah, i know i need to get over that issue once and for all. there just isn't any pressure to do that, which is nice.

i want us all to be happy, too. i think for the most part we are, but this is the hellmouth...there's bound to be some badness sometimes.

[ct_digitalpage]

*sighs*

Yes, there's bound to be badness, and evil, and even just ordinary bad luck like you get other places. Yancey's still nervous about me going out after dark--you know how he feels about vampires, and he's afraid I'll get turned into someone's midnight snack. *shrugs* Can't blame him for being protective, though.

But maybe things'll be good for a while, and the worst I'll have to deal with is incompetent subcontractors. That reminds me--would you like a copy of my list? I don't know what you need done for your store, but maybe it'll help?

[evalon]

i can understand Yancey's worries. you'd think after the attack, i wouldn't go out after dark.

*shrugs and smiles*

i just make sure i have a weapon out and i'm paying attention at all times. besides, if i want to see Michael, i kind of have to go out after dark. heh, it's kind of ironic that i'm now involved with a vamp after just getting chomped on one, isn't it?

[ct_digitalpage]

Yeah ... "irony" about seems to cover it, though Michael doesn't seem to be like the other vampires. I told you he and the Countess glow a bit differently, didn't I? You have to really look for it--well, I have to really look for it. *grins sheepishly*

*looks more serious*

I do hope he's good for you, Ev. I'd hate to see you get your heart broken. Or your neck snapped or something....
