CHAPTER 20:
James opened his eyes. He saw Jen was still asleep beside him. He smiled. They had made an appointment to see a house on right on the Thames River. He was excited to actually see it. It was a bit of a drive to St. Andrew's Close but he was willing to go. They had loved the pictures and he was fairly sure he and Jennifer would buy it on the spot.
Cooper had meanwhile gone out to grab some hot food. He knew what it was like to be hungover and he just wanted to be the helpful guy he was. When he opened his front door, his TV was on and he saw a head of red hair resting on the arm of the couch. He set down the takeout dish from the restaurant down the street and left it on the table. He noticed Fiona had ransacked his closet and stolen some of his clothes. He watched her sleep for a moment then went off to his room to leave her alone. He knew she needed the rest and he figured if she went back to Jen's apartment, she wouldn't leave poor Fiona alone.
"So I don't know about you, but I want to buy to buy this place. Today. The apartment is easy, you don't have to wait until someone fills it up and besides these people here already live in another house, and they just wanted to sell this one. So?"
"Of course. Let's do it." James agreed. He was glad; this was a big step and they took it so easily together.
