You can imagine the annoyance old high school rivals Madalynne Crenshaw and Bridget Wilkins felt when encountered each other in an elevator. High school was behind them though, and they were both mature enough to exist in the same building. Until they walked up to the same door. They each showed their paperwork, and were dismayed to find out that they had been screwed over and bought the same apartment. Real estate businesses were closed for the holidays so they couldn't fix anything. They were stuck here. Together.
On night one, the power went out during a blizzard and they were forced to stay in the living room, using the small fireplace for warmth. With no other way to pass the time, they began chatting, and Madalyne told Bridget that she'd been seeing a man named Malcolm Landgraab, that he was recently divorced and not looking for a new commitment. Bridget, however, worked for Penny Pizzazz-Landgraab, and knew that Malcolm was still married. Madalynne was devastated that she'd been lied to, and sobbed even harder when she realized she was pregnant. The next time Malcolm came to visit, Bridget confronted him at the door and forbade him from ever contacting Madalynne again. She didn't tell him about the baby. The young women bonded over the event and quickly became true friends. |
