"Excuse me? Do you know what happened to the girl who lives in apartment 017?" "Oh, yeah, that girl, she moved out last night." "Just like that? So suddenly?" "Don't get me started. She said she wanted to move out yesterday, so I told her we have a one month notice here, but she wasn't having none of that, said she couldn't wait another month. So she just paid me a month of rent to settle the notice, packed up her stuff and left late last night. Complicated girl that one."
