Becki was now at about six months without a full-time permanent job (her last day had been January 2nd). Her lease at the apartment she lived in with Gloria and Audrey (her cats) was ready to renew... or expire September 1st.
Andy didn't seem to be doing much better with the house. Everything seemed to be falling apart at the seams. A loss of coolant caused the A/C compressor to seize, causing a power surge that knocked out the TV and computer monitor, which also froze up the condenser, causing the condensor to freeze up into a giant block of ice, which eventually thawed and fell onto the furnace heat exchanger, which cracked the exchanger in half.
Luckily, Andy and Becki had each other to fall back upon. Becki helped Andy organize the needed repairs to the house (many phone calls) while Andy opened his heart to Becki, Gloria and Audrey. Becki took over his third bedroom as her new PartyLite office, and added more than a little clutter to his (now their) three-bedroom ranch.
It was only a 25 mile move, but a huge step in the future they both knew they would be sharing.
