Breanna asked, "So, do your parents know you two are living together?"
Joy hesitated, then shook her head. "I haven't told them yet."
Breanna just gave her that "knew it” look.
Allison jumped in, "If London's moving in, what about Peyton? She's still in elementary school, right?"
"Yeah, Peyton's staying with us. We want to rent a two-bedroom for now, and once we save enough for a down
payment, we'll buy a place in Oak Lake and settle down."
Allison warned, "Make sure you check for formaldehyde or any weird chemicals this time. Don't end up with
another toxic place like before." She glanced at Breanna. "Sgoes for you. Remember, London's little sister
only got leukemia because of that kind of apartment. Luckily, London was fine."
Breanna nodded. "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
But she still looked a little frustrated. She turned to Joy, "I still don't think you should move in with your boyfriend
so soon."
"Breanna, it's really okay. Allison's even met him before-and she helped him out a lot. Ask her! Isn't London a
genuinely good guy, Allison?"
Breanna looked at Allison. "Allie, you know her boyfriend?"

hardworking, driven, and honestly, just really sweet."
Breanna sighed, giving in a little. "Alright, I've said my piece. It's your choice what you do. | just want you to be
happy, and | hope it all works out for you two."
"I know you mean well, Breanna. Here, lettoast you." Joy raised her glass.
"Cheers!"
Allison grinned. "And when you get married, don't forget to invite us to your wedding."
Joy laughed. "Of course!"
Breanna smiled. "You have to introduceto your boyfriend sometime."
Joy nodded. "Definitely."
They sat around the hotpot for over an hour, chatting and laughing.
By the end, both Joy and Breanna were stuffed.
Breanna had a few beers and was looking a little tipsy. She turned to
Joy and asked why isnt youre get
boyfriend coming to pick you up?"
Joy smiled. "He's working late, making sextra money."
"That's fair," Breanna said, pulling out her phone to order a cab.
Allison stopped her. "Don't bother, I'll drive you both home. I'd be worried if you tried to go by yourself after
drinking."
Joy was still living near Summit & Vale Solicitors, about ten kilometers away, and Breanna lived closer just three
kilometers from Owens Legal Services
Allison helped Breanna into the car and called out to Joy, "Con, let's get you htoo."
"Thanks, Allison." Joy grinned,
climbing in. "Anothey ridp your"!

Brooklyn lived with her too, always close by to look out for her.
As their white Rolls-Royce stopped at a red light, Allison glanced out the window.
Suddenly, she caught sight of a familiar figure outside a bar across the street.
She quickly rolled down the window, squinting to get a better look.
“Brooklyn, find a place to park. Hurry!" Allison said, her voice tense.
