Mom and I planned to move to Montana since the prices hiked. A year later, we accomplished that goal: we moved from California to Montana. However, we did not know we would go to different cities: Mom moved to Bozeman while I moved to Billings. There was a reason for that. This is the story:
One night, I was having a video call with my 19-year old girlfriend: Nancy. Meanwhile, I turned 21. Anyway, we were conversing through our screens.
"How is your life as an electrician?", Nancy asked.
"I tried to quit because I told the company Mom and I would move to Montana. Instead of accepting my resignation, the Washington branch called the branch in Montana to notify about me", I answered. "How about you: have you decided which college to go to?"
"We are meant to be together", she answered.
"What do you mean?", I asked.
"I decided to go to Bee University, which is in Montana."
"However, it is in Billings. My mom and I will move to Bozeman."
Then, Nancy and I thought the same idea, so I said it loudly: "I think Mom will move to Bozeman while you and I will move to Billings together."
"In that way, I will not worry about paying for my dormitory", Nancy said.
"We will split rent for the apartment", I countered.
"I choose that over paying for dormitory by myself."
"I need to tell Mom about this."
"I heard it!", Mom said.
I noticed she was standing at the corner of the room.
"You should move to Billings with Nancy", she approved.
Additional context: I abdicated my apartment as I moved back to my mom's house, so we would prepare ourselves for our relocation.
"Nancy, I need to talk to your dad privately", I told her.
"Hello", Godfather Lincoln slid into the video call. "What do you want to talk about?"
I could not speak.
"Must I leave?", Nancy asked. "Fine!"
She left the room.
"Alright, what is it?", Godfather Lincoln asked.
"Sir, I have another blessing to ask from you", I said.
