Story
Wendy: Okay, wait… I said ‘Wait’! One moment. Okay. Alright, open your eyes!
Robert: Uhm, what am I looking at?
Wendy: Our new house!
What? It’s a joke, right?
Wendy: Well, no. I did it, babe. I got us our dream house.
Robert: Hold on, you- You already signed the contract and everything. Without even talking to me first? I thought we said we were going to sleep on it.
Wendy: Yeah, and I did and I woke up this morning and realized that this is it. This is the house.
Robert: We haven’t even done any research on the area. I mean, don’t you want to make an informed decision? Especially when you’re deciding where you’re going to spend the rest of your life?!
Wendy: Yeah, I mean. I get it but… I don’t know. I just feel like you always find something wrong with every house that we see. It was time to take the plunge, baby. No house is going to be perfect, you know?
Robert: I just can’t believe you did this without even talking to me first.
Wendy: Well, I did try to call you this morning but you weren’t answering your phone so I made an executive decision. The lady said there was already another offer and she recommended we just bite the bullet and get it if we didn’t want another couple living in it.
Robert: Yeah, of course she would say that because she wants to sell you the house! I- I mean, what’s even the point of arguing anyway? It’s not like we can do something about it, now, right?
Wendy: Right, so, let’s just be positive, okay? Come on, let’s go in. See? Don’t you think it looks even better than the last time we saw it.
Robert: I don’t know. I guess it’s- I mean, I have to admit it… It’s a really gorgeous house.
Wendy: See? Oh my gosh, Robert. We’re going to be so happy here.
Robert: Yeah, I guess you’re- What- what is that?
Wendy: What?
Robert: That sound.
[Train passing by]
Robert: Is there a train station nearby?!
Wendy: Yeah, it’s one of the main stations in the area and it’s just a two-minute walk from here. Isn’t that super convenient?
Robert: Oh, no…
