I can’t help thinking this is a lot of effort to get a date with a bird. Meanwhile, my mother is basking in my father's rare adulation about the house being in peak condition. Not bad for her not lifting a finger. My parents summon me into the lounge for a meeting. No doubt a parental update as there are six weeks before my eviction. 'So I've been mulling things over, Tyler,' says my father, 'and your mother agrees with me on this.’ My mother nods. ‘We’ve seen the effort you’re putting in to get approved for a mortgage and well, we didn't realise you'd need such a big deposit. In our day, there were one hundred percent mortgages and it only cost twenty-two grand for our house. Anyway, you can have some money out of your savings account. It was supposed to be towards your wedding but seeing as you're twenty-five with no woman in sight, we figured you could have less for your special day and we'll give you some of it now.' The wedding fund was previously a University fund. Basically, Camille got given ten grand when she went to University and I got a big fat fuck all.
