Chapter 71

• A reward in kind
• Leah had mostly moved into her new apartment, a separate second floor living space in a residential home. A male friend from work was expected to arrive to help her with the items she and her friend couldn’t manage: her queen-sized mattress, her dresser, and her couch. However, he just called with bad news: he had wrenched his back that morning and wouldn’t be able to help.
• She needed the furniture out of the moving van that day so she could return it. As it was a gorgeous early summer day, Leah couldn’t find any available male friends to help. She was about to reluctantly call her ex when she noticed two capable-looking men across the street.
