Over the next few weeks, Mila, Carlos, Ilsa, and Landon set up a cosy home with the four of them. Eventually, the four-bedroom townhouse started feeling like home for all of them.
Mila found a part-time job that helped her cover a quarter of the rent. She worked not far from Carlos and managed to get a permanent shift that ended at the same time as his full-time job.
Ilsa and Landon both got corporate internships which paid very well in the same part of town. They often worked the same hours, went to work together, and returned home together.
Often because Mila got home first, she cooked dinner for everyone. Carlos was in charge of breakfast, but due to their schedules, it was usually something light or something they could eat on the go, except for the weekends.

“Mila, your boyfriend is here!” One of the girls called out as she walked to the back of the kitchen.
