Hey, I know this is a short chapter, but I hope you'll enjoy it. I just want to thank all of you for your time and attention. Also, in the coming days, there may not be a new chapter everyday because I am planning on going back and editing my previous chapters. Tell me what you think and give me your ideas,

"Stay," he begged.
"No, I have to leave," she promised.
"Stay," he said kissing her.
"If I stay here one more night, there will be no reason for me to even have my own place." Happy informed him after breaking away.
"Why not? It's a great storage unit," Toby pouted.
"It's been a month since I slept in my own bed," She complained. She had done this every night that she had been here. Every night she said no, and every night he convinced her to stay.
"Is that so bad?" He questioned. He could not imagine her leaving after this long. He wanted her to stay as long as possible. Forever, if she would.
"No, but I can't stay here forever."
"Why not?" He asked again.
"Because why should I pay all this money to have a place that I don't even go?" She questioned.
"Please stay?" He begged. "You can't argue when I'm being polite."
"I can argue," Happy told him. "I can always argue."
"Please?"
"One more hour and then I leave," She gave in.
"I'll make dinner," he offered.
"I'll go watch some tv."
"Are you so sure you have to leave?" Toby asked once again. They were sitting next to each other eating their dinners.
"At this moment I'm eating, and then I will be leaving," she promised. He grabbed her hand, but she snatched it away. "I'm trying to eat."
"I just want to spend time with you before you go," he said dramatically.
"I'm not dying, Doc. Surely, you should know that," she smiled at his antics.
"But you are leaving me," He sighed.
"For 12 hours maximum," She explained.
"Why even leave at all?" He questioned. "You could stay here and we could watch a
movie and then we could sleep and go to work tomorrow. It could be a sleepover!"
"Well, after 30 days of sleepovers, I think it's time I leave," She tried.
"Please?" He begged.
"No," She shut him down.
"I love it when you're here," He told her, "It makes me happy."
"I can't."
"Don't leave me alone." He groveled.
"No."
"Just one movie," He asked.
"It depends," she teased.
"On what?"
"Do I get to choose?" He proceeded to nod so quickly he hurt his neck
"You shouldn't leave. You're tired," he pleaded once again. He was getting desperate now. She had never held out this long before saying yes.
"I really have to go," She said crawling out of his grip.
"No, no, no," he sang pulling her back in.
"I can't just live in your house," Happy fought him.
"Why can't you?" He wondered.
"Because I need to live in my own house," She told him.
"You've been living here for a month," he told her.
"The issue isn't it being here. The issue isn't you. I want to live in my house. I want the right to my own home," She cried out. "Let me have my own property."
"Happy," he begged.
"If you are going to ask me to stay another night, I can stop you right there. The answer is no," She said getting up to leave.
"Happy, please."
"No, I need my own things. I can't just leech off of you," She admitted. "I'm going now. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Will you listen to me?" He urged her. When she didn't talk, or move, he began to speak, "Look, you don't have to stay here. I can come over to yours. I just want to be with you and I don't care where that is. I will come and live with you, or you can come and live with me. Either way, I just want to have a home with you."
"I don't understand," she said.
"I mean, I don't care about houses. I care about homes, and home is with you. It's not leeching, it's sharing."
"I want to pay for part of it," she said quickly.
"Ok, that's how sharing a house works."
"I'm going to stay here."
"Good."
