Room for Rent

Lauren was looking at the bulletin boards in the student union at UT Southwestern when she first saw the advertisement. It was bright green with the words, "ROOM FOR RENT," at the top. She went over to the flyer and unpinned it to get a second look.

"Older empty nester couple seeking tenant for basement apartment. 1bd. 1br. Separate entrance. $650/month. Occasional assistance around the house may be required. Call the number below and ask for Gaye. Serious offers only please."

Only $650/month? In the heart of Dallas? In exchange for a few household chores?! This was perfect! Lauren would finally be able to move out of her current place and away from her noisy roommate. She would have the peace and quiet she needed to study. The separate entrance would allow her to come and go to clinical at all hours of the day/night. Before se even made it out to her car, she had already dialed the phone and was waiting for Gaye to pick up the phone.
