When Penny moved into her apartment three years ago it was because she fell in love with the way it seemed to combine the cozy vintage feel with the crisp edges of modern design. The rent was a little higher than what she had originally wanted to pay but once she viewed the space she couldn?t imagine living anywhere else.*The open floor plan made the kitchen and living room area feel large and comfortable instead of the cramped basement suite she was living in before she moved. Exposed brick covered one wall of the living room and another one of the walls curved out onto a balcony. The curved wall was made from floor to ceiling windows and natural light constantly coated the room during the day.*Light green paint coated the other walls and her kitchen had wood cabinets made of light maple wood. The light grey marble counter tops were smooth but flaws in the stone were made of a chocolate brown quarts that sparkled when caught by the light. It had two bedrooms and two bathrooms but since Penny lived alone she had originally converted one of the bedrooms into a library that she mainly just used for book storage and writing.Since it was located on the outskirts of downtown Montreal it was close to everything that she needed. She worked as a paralegal Escort Beşevler in a prestigious law firm three blocks from her home. Her job brought her a lot of joy; her competitive nature compelled her to seek a career in law because she wanted to feel the thrill of the chase. Sitting in the court room with the senior partners and watching them break down the other side?s arguments made her want to go to law school. It was almost the only excitement that she felt in her everyday life. Her friends, like her, worked long hours and many also worked on the weekend. It didn?t leave much time to socialize so the best it got was the occasional partner for drinks.Three years after her move, Penny felt as though she was in the same place in her life as she was when she was back in Whitehorse. She lived alone, had a steady, well-paying job that she worked hard at, and seldom saw her friends.*Serious dating was out of the question because of her long hours but she had met a few women that she had liked enough to try with. Usually after the fourth of fifth date they realized that Penny wasn?t available enough to give them what they really wanted which was a long-term commitment. As much as Penny would have liked Çankaya escort a long-term relationship she also really loved her job, and her job came with long hours and stress. The quick and easy nature of hooking up with someone failed to entice her. Penny liked getting to know someone and discovering all of their quirks. What got them going and what doesn?t. Pushing their buttons and caring for someone was over half the joy of being with them.So, Penny spent almost all of her time alone.After her third year of the same she decided she was ready for a change. A relationship was out of the question because in her experience they can?t be forced and Penny was still very busy with her work anyway. New friendships were difficult to start, again, because of her long work hours. She had absolutely no desire to go home and visit her family. Roommate??Penny could handle a roommate.When she got home from the gym Penny pulled out her laptop and began to think of where to start. Looking for a roommate online seemed risky, kind of like a lottery that you were almost defiantly going to lose. She decided to post a flyer in her building at work. There were ten floors full of people who were employed and successful, which Cebeci escort bayan made they a more appealing roommate than a random person off of the internet. After writing the flyer Penny re-read it and decided it was good enough.Roommate wanted:Hi! I am looking for a roommate to come live with me in my two-bedroom apartment in downtown. I am clean and quiet and I am hoping to meet someone similar to share my space with. There is a pool and fitness facility and in suite laundry. If you want to meet me or come view my place you can call or text me!Over the years Penny had realized that while she was fantastic at writing reports and researching laws and digging up information she was terrible at writing personal stuff. Thinking about that, she figured no amount of rewriting was going to make her flyer any better so she added her phone number at the bottom and printed off a dozen copies, one for each floor in her building plus the lobby.The next day she put a flyer on every floor next to the elevators. She hoped that at least one person would see at and decide to give it a shot.Over the course of the work day she went out of her way to not check her phone even though she was curious if anyone had contacted her about the room. At lunch time she looked but there were no messages from any unknown numbers. She tossed her phone in her purse and ran to catch up with her friends who were waiting at the elevator to go grab lunch. The elevator doors were closing just as she got there so she pressed the down button and waited for the next one.
