In June two roommates moved out of apartment 4B. Elena stayed in the city. She rented a small apartment in Queens. It has one bedroom and a balcony. The rent is $2,400 a month. Elena walked to the subway and worked in Manhattan.
Sam didn't rent. He wanted a house with a yard. He saved money for five years. In May he signed the papers for a small house in an upstate town. The house has a kitchen, two bedrooms, a basement and a yard.
In July Elena visited Sam. They cooked dinner in the yard. The town was very quiet. “Did you like the city or the town?” Sam asked. Elena laughed. “I liked the town. But I missed the subway!”
