A few moments passed as Sara stood staring at the washing machine.

... I can do that later, Sara decided, for now I've got better things to do. She shook her head, and slowly turned away, only to be met with the squeak of the basement door, and the creak of the stairs as Virginia came into view.

"Uh, hey," she began, "you took care of my clothes?"

"Yep! They're right in here," Sara said, her hand on the machine, patting the corner she'd almost gotten very familiar with. Looking at her neighbor on the stairs.
