Mira Lambert walked frantically down the street, her black locks falling in her face, backpack half off her shoulder. What a day! she thought to herself. She found herself in a very peculiar situation, this morning. First, her girlfriend left her, just a note on the bed. Well, at least she gave her closure of some sort. Next, her landlord was selling the house she was living in, giving her a twenty four hour notice to leave the premises. Finally, because of all the commotion in the morning, she was late to work and got written up for the third time this week. "One more time and you're fired, Lambert!" were her boss's words before she left for the day. 

Her mother had added further insult to the day by asking her for grandbabies. "I'm not getting any younger, dear and to be quite honest, neither are you." All she could do was roll her eyes and hold the phone as far from her ear as possible. The grueling conversation only lasted a few minutes, but with her mother, it always seemed like days had passed before they finally hung up. "Ma, I gotta go. Yea, yea. I need to find a new place. Yea, uh-huh. Okay...Ooookay, yep. Gotta go. Yes, kiss kiss," she blew kisses into the phone and ended the call. She perused the newspaper for a bit and found a few places for rent.

After several awful apartments she found the one. It was a ranch house and it was perfect. The price tag on it however, was not. She had always lived alone but in this case she would be forced to get a roommate as quick as possible. The real estate agent that was preparing for the open house told her it wouldn't last. "I know, I'm sorry, but I can't afford it on my own," she replied. For some odd reason, she felt embarrassed and decided to speed walk the hell out of there. As she turned the hall towards the main entrance she was slammed by someone else. "Jeez - - Ouch! What the hell?!" She looked at her attacker. "Uh, no I don't think so. And it's okay, I was hightailing it out of here I should have paid attention," she apologized as well and extended her hand. "I'm Mira, Mira Lambert."
