"I think we should go." Dylan pushes Jennifer out the door.
"Uh thanks Mr. Gold." David says, as he follows the women.
"Oh no problem dearies. No problem at all." Mr. Gold mumbles as he walks to his back room.
----
Mr. Gold uncovers a globe sitting on his desk.
--
The globe is lit up a uniquely in a red tone. The global map is shown, but only one specific spot is pulsating.
----
"So David. Do you know where we could live?" Jennifer asks.
"Granny runs an Airbnb." David shrugs.
"She's thinking, something more permanent." Dylan whispers.
"You guys want to live here?" David asks.
"Yeah, we can... Can't we?" Jennifer asks, furrowing her brow.
"Well of course you can. I'm so happy to hear that you're staying!" David smiles happily.
"We want something secluded. Lilly kind of likes to wander... I don't think neighbors would approve." Dylan explains.
"We knew one who welcomed it." Jennifer smiles.
--
"My family owned an old cabin. Would you like me to show you?" David offers.
"Please!" Jennifer nods.
-
David walks Jennifer and Dylan. To the middle of the town's forest.
----
"Here's the cabin, it's a bit rustic. But it's a little more modern." David gestures ahead of him.
--
The cabin has your traditional, outside log stacking look. The roof is made out if metal, and it has a deck wrapping around the house.
--
"Would you like to see inside?" David asks.
"Yeah!" Jennifer says, as she and Dylan run inside.
-
David chuckles as he tries to keep up.
---
"How many rooms are in here?" Dylan asks, as she looks at the open concept living room.
"There's two bedrooms upstairs, one bedroom downstairs, and there's room to expand for a third lower level bedroom." David explains.
"This place is perfect." Jennifer turns to David.
"Are you sure?" David asks.
"Definitely." Jennifer nods.
--
A little meow echoes through the living room.
-
"What's that?" Dylan asks.
"I don't know." David says confused.
-
The meow gets louder, revealing a grey, and skinny kitten.
-
"Aw!" Dylan gushes, she crouches down to the kitten.
"I guess the house has a resident." David chuckles.
-
Dylan extends her hand, allowing the kitten to smell her.
-
The kitten nuzzles Dylan's palm.
-
Dylan scratches the kittens head.
-
"Do you want to keep it?" Jennifer asks.
"Can we?" Dylan asks, looking up at Jennifer.
"I don't see tags. But we should have the vet, look it over first. Before we get attached..." Jennifer nods.
--
"Well Dylan and Jennifer. Welcome home." David places the keys in Jennifer's hand.
"Thank you David." Jennifer kisses his cheek.
-
David blushes.
