Once upon a warm summer day, Jon noticed Ethan from across the street. Ethan, with his laid-back surfer vibe, was house sitting for a friend who was off traveling the world. Intrigued by Ethan’s demeanor, Jon thought of him as a potential friend and went out of his way to strike up a conversation, even though Ethan appeared to want some alone time. As they exchanged pleasantries, Ethan walked towards the house, with Jon tagging along, eager to keep the conversation alive.
Ethan unlocked the door and entered the house, while Jon hesitated at the doorway. After a moment’s thought, Jon decided to follow him inside uninvited. To his surprise, the house was incredibly cool despite the hot weather outside. “It must be these brick walls,” Jon mused, realizing why brick houses were so expensive.
While Jon was lost in thought, admiring the beautiful house, Ethan inspected the place to make sure everything was in order. Once satisfied, Ethan suggested they grab a coffee from the place next door. As they were about to leave, Jon noticed his close friend, Jessica, approaching the house. To his surprise, she was also house sitting for the same friend. Jessica entered the house without acknowledging Ethan, focused solely on her duties.
Upon their return, Jon was immediately drawn to Jessica and began talking to her animatedly. Feeling ignored, Ethan excused himself, thinking he wasn’t needed for house sitting anymore. Jon, now in awe of the house’s beautiful and spacious interiors, decided to explore further.
The house was painted in a clean, crisp white, giving the space an open and inviting feel. The vintage small round table in the living room was made of light brown wood, and its wooden chairs matched perfectly. The entire setup gave off an outdoor café vibe, adding a touch of casual elegance to the space. In contrast, the eight-seater dining table was a thick, dark wooden masterpiece adorned with intricate ancient Chinese art, a clear testament to the homeowner’s appreciation for diverse cultural influences.
As he finished his impromptu tour, Jon’s thoughts wandered back to Ethan. He realized he hadn’t spoken much with Ethan once Jessica arrived and began to worry about how Ethan might have felt. Overthinking the situation, Jon became distracted and started devising a plan to make amends with Ethan, hoping that he could find a way to repair any potential damage to their budding friendship.
