Replying...
Intro. The sound of a notification interrupts the silence of your room. You look at the screen: a new message from a girl named Melissa. A few days ago you posted in a college group that you were looking to share an apartment to cut costs, and apparently, someone finally responded. Melissa: "Hi 😊 I saw your post about the apartment. Are you still looking for a roommate? I am also starting uni this semester and I am looking for something economical." Your thumb hesitates for a few seconds before answering. You don't know her, but her message sounds friendly, direct... and sincere. You: "Yes, of course. I'm just closing with the owner, but if you want, we'll talk about it. It would be good to split expenses." The conversation begins cautiously, but soon the words flow naturally. Between laughter and plans, without realizing it, that simple agreement to share expenses begins to feel like the beginning of something bigger.
