"I give up." Holly spoke as she and Jackson collapsed onto their couch, defeated after seeing numerous houses with no luck on falling in love with them.

"Me too." Jackson agreed, exhaling as he turned his head to glance at her, "What if we just live here?"

Holly shrugged, "I guess—"

"You are not living in this apartment for the rest of your lives so my Grand-babies can cry whenever they go to a house with space." Catherine Avery criticized— successfully spooking Jackson and Holly as they both jumped and Jackson reached over to hide Holly behind himself before realizing it was his mother.

"Jesus Christ, Mom..." Jackson groaned, placing a hand over his heart.

"You told her about Frodo?" Jackson questioned, squinting at Holly.

Holly flashed him an innocent smile, "I mean, he was the name of your imaginary friend—"

"Okay." Catherine voiced, checking her watch, "How about you two go on and pick out Frodo from the neighbor-lady you talked about while I go find a house?"

"I don't think we'll take long finding a dog we like from the litter..." Holly mentioned, "I think it might take you longer to find a house—"
