"So what do you think?"
Brooke, standing in the tiny "apartment" she was checking out, was honestly not thrilled with the place. The plus side to it was that she hadn't seen mold or vermin like she had in a lot of the other places she'd viewed. She was beginning to think that maybe her budget, which had been more than fine for getting her a little place in Tree Hill, was not going to work as well in New York.
"It's... charming," she said, trying for diplomatic. "But um, I was kind of thinking for the price you're asking that there'd be, you know, rooms."
"No," the landlord said.
"Not even gonna try to make it better there, are you?" Yeah, that wasn't a great sign.
"Look, for the price you're going for, this is a better place and a better deal than what you'd find anywhere else," he told her. "Do you want the place or not?"
No. Not even a little bit. When she'd said she was moving to New York, she figured she'd start out somewhere awesome and trendy, somewhere befitting and up and coming fashion designer. Apparently she'd just have to pay her dues first.
Trying to look somewhat more thrilled than she was, Brooke said, "I'll take it."
