Nathalie Emmanuel

Nathalie Emmanuel was my roommate, landlady, and old friend. She let me live with her the past few years, but I was firmly in the friend zone.

She was just about to head out somewhere, but wanted to speak to me first.

"John, I wanted to tell you that I'm moving to a new place soon, so I need you to move out. I feel like I'm enabling you by doing this," she said. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," I said. "But can't I test my hypnosis powers on you? If they work I can be a therapist or stage hypnotist."

"Sure," Nathalie shrugged.
