"Wait, is it really not you? We’re certain that the sounds are coming from your unit," the man said.
I took a few steps back.
Panicking, I left the restaurant.
Something was fishy.
I went straight to the house to look for the landlady.
"Why is the rent so cheap?"
"Isn’t that a good thing?"
I pressed on and she finally told me a story.
A couple used to stay in my unit
They were from another part of the country.
"When they first moved in, the house was only semi-finished. They started decorating the place a few days after settling in. They were an extremely loving couple. The sounds you mentioned… I know. I know it because the neighbors next door were complaining."
