The next seven days were a mixture of hilarious, awkward, and scary. Catia and I had to live like a ‘normal’ couple. Seeing as though we didn’t really know each other, that proved extremely awkward. We couldn’t ask each other things, trying to get to know the other person better, for fear it would tip off whoever was listening. So we just talked about weather, how I would find work, and played zombie shooting video games, at which Catia was very good.

At night, every few days we pretended to have sex. Catia sat across from me and moaned while I tried not to laugh. Then I joined in with my verbal utterances, and Catia would laugh. Whoever was listening must have thought our sex life was weird as hell, because she would always laugh at my fake orgasm, and then I’d smack her arm to shut her up. You hadn’t seen awkward until you’d had fake sex with a lesbian, who thought you were an awful kisser.

I’d swept the entire apartment, and found small button-size mikes under our bedside lamp, under the blender in the kitchen, under the DVD player in living room, and as gross as it sounded, under the soap dispenser in the bathroom. For seven freaking days, I had to live with a total stranger, and pretend we’d intimately known each other for years. I knew Catia was having a hard time with it too, because she would randomly burst out laughing when I did something, like trying to make dinner the first night and give her meat. She kindly reminded me she was a vegetarian, something I’d forgotten. It was a mess.

Today was our last day, thank God. We’d already packed up and been told we’d be receiving discharge papers soon.

Catia was pacing the floors of the living room. “I can’t wait to get out of here and find some decent work. I hope we can score a good apartment too.”

I nodded. “We can stay at a motel for a few nights until we find a good place. I’ve got that money we saved up for the down payment.”

With wide eyes, I tried to let her know it was actually my money, and I’d be happy to put it down on our shared apartment.

She chuckled. “Hah. You mean the money I mostly saved.”

I grinned. Clearly she had her own money. Catia was a feminist. Brielle would have loved her.

A sharp pang hit my heart as I thought of my fiancée. Fiancée? Ex fiancée? Late fiancée? I wasn’t sure what to call her anymore, and that killed me.

Before I could wallow further, a knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts.

“Come in!” Catia yelled and we both stood frozen.

A young heavyset female entered the apartment, slapping a stack of papers down on the dining table. “You’re approved for residency in San Francisco. Any violating of our laws will be met with consequences. The laws are outlined in the pamphlet.” She pointed to the papers she’d just given us.
