Just head home

You've had enough for one day, deciding to find your own way back to the dressing room. You grab your bag, jacket and remaining belongings before leaving the studio. You don't encounter anyone except for the receptionist as you exit the building; and she barely acknowledges you as you step outside.

The sky has now turned grey and a gentle rain drizzles down on you; yet you almost welcome it. The cool drops of water feel cleansing on your skin, and are certainly a lot less sticky than certain other fluids you've endured today. You proceed to make your way to the bus stop in what feels like a daze. Today's ordeals replay over and over in your mind as you wait for the bus, and you only really manage to snap out of it when you find yourself standing back in front of your apartment building. You'd like nothing more right now than to take a long hot shower, have a warm meal and go to bed. You know that tomorrow you'll be doing even more scenes with Sarah and Hogan.

You are walking up the steps towards the entrance of your apartment building when{if rentpay=1} your heart suddenly skips a beat as you instinctively remember your landlord. You had been evading him for so long that it takes you a moment to realize you have nothing to fear; you had already paid him the rent yesterday. You smile as you open the door and climb the stairs to your apartment room. At least that's one less thing to worry about.

You head up the stairs, encountering your landlord talking to another female tenant at the end of the hall. You ignore them as you step towards the door of your room, unlocking it and stepping inside. You breathe a sigh of relief as you drop your bag on the counter and get ready to unwind for a bit.

Half an hour later you're halfway through preparing some food when there's a knock on your door.

{else} you suddenly freeze up; remembering a very important little detail:

You promised to sleep with your landlord in exchange for rent.

As if on cue you hear the distinct raspy voice of your landlord coming from upstairs. You don't feel ready whatsoever; really wishing to get refreshed in your room before you deal with this. For a moment you briefly consider turning around and waiting until he's gone, but you calm yourself down when you realize that he seems to be talking to someone else. Surely he won't confront you about something like this with others around, so this might be your chance to slip by him and freshen up first.

You keep your head low as you dart up the stairs, and sure enough; your landlord is speaking with another female tenant at the end of the hallway. He looks your way briefly as you quickly step towards the door of your room, fumbling with your keys in a hurry to get it open. By the time you step inside and close it again your landlord seems to have turned his attention back to his conversation.

You breathe a sigh of relief as you drop your bag on the counter and get ready to unwind for a bit. Food and shower first, and you'll deal with your landlord afterwards.

A few moments later you're halfway through preparing some food when there's a knock on your door.

You don't have to guess twice who that might be...{endif}
