Picking up the pieces
Cait stood in the wrecked apartment and looked around. The place was a complete and utter disaster. There was water damage and a huge gaping hole in the one wall. So much for getting her security deposit back. The place was completely ruined and unlivable.

Which lead to the most pressing issue. Where were her and Ty going to live? She didn't have enough money to put a deposit down on another apartment, not that anyone in their right mind would rent to her, and she wasn't about to ask her father for money. Mom was an option, but it would still be asking one of her parents for help. She didn't want to ask for help if she could prevent it.

Cait sighed and started sifting through her personal belongings. The items that were not damaged and the ones that were salvageable were put into cardboard boxes. The ones that had been ruined were tossed into trash bags. Thankfully most of the books had survived and Cait wouldn't have to pay to replace the ones from the library.

	"That's good to hear," she said with relief. "I should be able to get a job very soon and start working. After that it shouldn't take us too long to get our own place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"At which point maybe I'll be a Titan, and we'll see where we want to settle in. For now, just having a place to keep our books would feel like a great start." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smiled. "Yes. A fresh start in a new city will be nice." And a country between her and her father was even better. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Definitely agree with that." Much as he's having a rough time with the idea of leaving Metropolis, his only family, and everything he's ever known behind. But at least he has Cait. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait turned a deep shade of red. She considered herself very lucky to have found him. "Maybe once we get settled in somewhere, we can do some sightseeing. I've never been to San Francisco." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Definitely. We can find all sorts of city tours, or just fly over it. Or go for a swim. I've never really left Metropolis, so this is all new to me too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then we'll explore together." The more they talked about a new start in a new city, the more appealing it seemed. It was a chance for a fresh start and Cait was going to take every opportunity as it came. (Reply to this)(Parent)
