Jackie’s been calling the landlord of the apartment she just paid for. She had until the end of the week to move out of her cousin’s place because his wife and kids were coming back from vacation.
When she dials his number again, he answers.
“I’ve been trying to reach you. Are the repairs completed? I need to move in by the weekend.”
“That won’t be possible. There was a wind storm in the area yesterday and there was considerable damage to the roof.”
“How long will the repairs take?”
“About two weeks.”
It’s back to her friend’s couch again.
