No, not just boring.
Monotonous.
Frustrating.
He stood outside of the last apartment building on his list and shook his head. It looked like something he'd normally see down near Ala Moana Shopping Center back home in Hawaii.
The places in those buildings weren't apartments so much as they were condominiums.
To live down at the mall, across the street from the beach park would run you at least a million dollars.
Of course, life in Hawaii versus life in Center City were completely different from each other.
One was surrounded by water.
This place was surrounded by land, land, and more land.
It was most than a little bit of culture shock even though he'd only been there for a few days.
Things were still new and somewhat exciting.
He just had to find someplace a little more permanent than an Airbnb.
Then, he expected, he would feel more settled.
Like he'd actually moved.
His phone chimed and he looked down at the screen.
LEXIE: Any news?
He shook his head before moving out of the entrance. He sat down on the edge of a concrete planter and lifted his phone to type out his reply.
KK: 4 big nopes
The three little dots appeared.
Stopped.
Appeared again.
Sitting back, he looked up at the ceiling of the main floor and shook his head.
The place was nice, but in his experience, nice meant expensive.
He was going to mark this one off, too.
PING
He looked down at the screen and smiled.
LEXIE: Do you want to drown your sorrows in some ice cream? I can treat you to ice cream.
LEXIE: It helps me when I'm down.
How could he turn that down?
His phone rang.
