James had invited Bram to go apartment shopping with him in an effort to soften his refusal to move in with the man. Bram sullenly agreed to accompany him. Making good use of his construction background, Bram was quick to point out every flaw and negative aspect of each place until even the landlords began looking at the buildings with a more critical eye.Almost completely through the newspaper's available listings, James thought he would never find an acceptable, safe and convenient apartment that wouldn't break his budget or send Bram into fits. By mid afternoon, the two of them had looked at eight apartments and one duplex, all of which were either in a bad neighborhood, too expensive, too rundown, or too far from work for James. With one address left to check out, James was tired and discouraged.Parked at the curb, James stared out of the passenger window of Bram's truck at the next rental possibility. It was a moderate-sized, three story, brick apartment building. He was unexpectedly pleased by the sight of its neatly manicured shrubbery and even walkway leading to a sturdy-looking, security-keyed lobby door.
