Trying to occupy her brain, Ele used her phone to browse the web and social media, but when Tyler's text came in she smiled and let the feeling of relief wash over her.

Greeting the doorman, Ele went up to her apartment and let herself in. Flopping on her bed, Ele made a face at how strange it felt to be in the space.

[i]Just got to the apartment. It feels weird to be here. Gonna research some moving companies and call Kate so we can meet up tomorrow. Anything exciting happening?[/i]
