“Oh, you’re a student?” The heavily made-up woman, dressed in what could only be described as an eighties power suit, cast a scathing glance in Lennon’s direction. “I thought we put on the ad we wouldn’t consider students.” She side-eyed her flatmate, who shrugged.

“I’m in my final year. It’s more important for me to study than party.” Lennon forced a smile and clasped her hands together.

I reached over to take one of them in mine. I sensed her edginess and wanted to help her calm down.

“Is this your boyfriend? Would he be staying too? It’s quite a small room.” The woman turned her attention to me.

Lennon pulled her hand away, slipping them under her thighs. “No. He wouldn’t stay.”

Slightly hurt by her apparent dismissal of our relationship, I stood up. “I guess I’ll leave you to chat as I’m not needed.”

None of the three of them even acknowledged the fact I left the room. I went into the small kitchen and looked out of the window. The flat was tiny. There were two bedrooms, the one Lennon could have was even smaller than mine at home. How she would fit all her stuff in, I had no idea. Judging by the enthusiasm of the couple who were interviewing her, they needed someone who would be happy to stay in their room and not make any noise. Although, strictly speaking, it wasn’t my business, I couldn’t possibly let Lennon live here. She deserved nicer flatmates for a start.

“Okay, thank you for your time. It was good to meet you.” Lennon’s voice floated in from the hallway. “I have other places to see, so I’ll wait for your decision.” She poked her head into the room. “Shall we go?”

Gratefully, I followed her out of the building. “They seemed welcoming.”

Lennon stopped stock still on the pavement. “You’re kidding me, right? I have never felt so judged in my life.” She paused. “Well, except for Candace, of course.”

“You might as well live with her instead.” My stomach growled. “Can we get some food? I’m starving.”

“We’ve got about an hour before the next appointment, which is…” She spun around and pointed down another street nearby. “Down there.”

“Ah, plenty of time then.” I grabbed her hand and pulled her into the nearest coffee shop.

We found a table in the corner, and I went to the counter to order a cappuccino for Lennon, coffee for me, and a sandwich for each of us. When the server told me the price, I almost had a heart attack. And I thought the Blue Goose had been expensive. If I was going to spend time here with Lennon, I’d best start saving now. I took our drinks back to the table to find Lennon staring at her phone.

“They’ve already said no to me,” she said, gesturing in the vague direction of the place we’d just come from. “And the appointment at five has been cancelled because they’ve already found someone.” She sighed and pouted.

I can’t say I wasn’t sorry the first place hadn’t come through for her.
