Allison's POV

I enter Ian's house squealing and jumping excitedly.

"Ian!" I squeal. "I made it! I'm leaving the outskirts. I have an apartment ready and everything!"

And I'm even more better off than I was before, I think giddily.

Ian looks shocked for a moment, and then he's giving me a beaming smile.

"I'm so happy for you, Allison," he says.

"You've earned this."

That makes me grin.

"I'm moving back to the city tomorrow," I say. "Would you like to come with me?"

Now Ian looks like I've zapped him with lightening. He opens and closes his mouth a few times.

"You… want me to come with you?"...
