Positive developments? #2

Wow. I had thought this was coming, even talked it over a bit with the guys last night, and here it came.

Phone call from W:
"I'm trying to get out of my apartment, it's too expensive, and I have a few options, only two of which are free. That would be my dad's and grandpa's, neither of which would be good for me. Would you consider asking your landlord to rent the apartment next to yours, which just became available? (pause) I want you to know that I'm still resolute about what I decided in December."

I stayed nonchalant, told her I wouldn't expect that this would change that, but that it could be a good idea and that I'd check with the landlord on Monday.

The house I live in is divided into four apartments, and rented only to seminary students for a very low rate. I pay only $100/month, no utilities. It's sticky because W isn't a student, and I'm not sure what the owner or landlord know about the sitch. I would simply be asking for more space, something I've thought about several times but it's always been occupied. Now I hear they're having trouble finding a new tenant.

The building is also being inspected by the City on Thursday, they found a couple things out of code and are coming for a full inspection. Only through this did I find that the other upstairs unit is now empty.

W said she'd call me back after the Superbowl and help me with the wording in the morning. We'll see.

What I'm hearing is "I want to/have to move back, but I don't want you to think that we're immediately getting back together and everything will be perfect, etc. etc." So that's the way I'm taking it. Got to love the skittish WAW, thankful because of all of you I know how to handle it now.
