“So, what did you think about my offer?” I asked Ellen over the table at the restaurant.

“I like it because it would allow me to concentrate on school, but I have some reservations.”

“And they are?”

“Two really big ones. First, I give up the apartment, say goodbye to the agency and a month later you change your mind. There will be no apartment, no job, carrying a full load at school that I will have to drop so I can use the time to find a job. Next is the privacy issue. I don’t have a boyfriend now, but if and when I come up with one, how would we handle my bringing him home?”

The thought of Ellen with a boyfriend didn’t set well with me at all, but I should have expected that it might come into the mix at some time. I would just have to put it out of my mind.

“To allay your first concern I’ll give you a legally enforceable contract and it will have a renewable clause and financial penalties for early termination. I’ll make it for two years. That will give you enough time to finish school and then figure out what you are going to want to do with your degree. Taking a full load you will probably finish in a year or a year and a half and two years will give you some cushion. At the end of two years we can discuss renewal. As for your second concern I don’t see a problem. The company has an account with Best Western and I will add your name to the list of those people authorized to use the account. If you feel awkward about bringing him home with you, you can use the Best Western. What else?”

“What do I tell my mother?”

“That is strictly up to you. Tell her whatever you like. Just let me know so that if it ever comes to it, I can back you up. Maybe tell her I hired you to house sit because I travel a lot on business.”

By the end of the evening she decided to do it and on Monday she gave notice at the agency and informed her landlord that she would not be renewing at the end of the month. Two weeks later on a Wednesday I helped her move her things into the house at Regency Park.
