With a grunt, Ying Sheng twisted the key in the lock, unlocking the door to her and Liam's shared apartment. She pushed the door open and kicked off her black boots in the foyer next to his dark grey sneakers, a huff leaving her.
"That lock is getting harder and harder to unlock," she muttered as she switched on the light to the living room.
"I'll put in a maintenance request for them to look at it," Liam told her as he ventured into the connected kitchen to grab a glass of water.
Ying Sheng watched him go with a small smile, feeling grateful for his help and kindness. For so long, she had lived in a household where she felt useless and neglected. It was a place that she didn't belong, but at least she had Liam now, who was the person that she was closest to.
