“Thank you, Mrs. Peyton. I got it.” I say as I place the final stack of books on the table.
“Okay, dear, let me know if you need anything.” Mrs. Peyton smiles in a grandmotherly way.
“Thank you again for renting me the apartment.”
“No problem at all.”
The apartment isn’t much – a bed, small kitchen, a desk, and a window looking out to the neighbor’s roof – what more do I need? Sure, the bathroom is communal but that stuff doesn’t really matter to me, not when I’m out most of the time.
I slump onto the chair, home sweet temporary home.

A temporary home can still be a home, and I think your MC knows how to make it so. Nice story.

There’s something special about finding a space and making it your own, even if it is temporary!

I agree, it’s almost like one’s little slice of sanctuary.
