Chapter 4

On October 27th, Emily and Benji spent the day packing their things for a move.

"I always thought moving would be quite the adventure," Benji mused.

"Oh, it will be. I've been looking to live someplace within driving distance of the other Bellas," Emily said.

"And now, thanks to your new job offer in Hartford, it's possible," Benji said.

"Yeah, it is!" Emily said, excited.

"So, what exactly will you be doing?" Benji asked, curious.

"I got a job as a secretary in a psychologist's office," Emily replied.

"Sounds nice. As for me, I'll probably end up applying at a Starbucks or something," Benji said.

"Well, if that doesn't work out, I'm sure we'll find something for you to do," Emily said.

After Benji and Emily finished loading a U-Haul truck, Benji got into the truck, while Emily got in their car and started the long drive to Hartford.

"Well, Emily, you ready for a long road trip?" Benji asked.

"You know it!" Emily said, excited.

On October 29th, Emily and Benji arrived at their new apartment in Hartford.

"We made it!" Emily said, relieved.

"Yep. After over a day of driving and a night at a hotel in DC, this trip was totally worth it," Benji said.

"Let's have a look inside," Emily suggested as the two went into the apartment before unloading the U-Haul truck.

"Wow. This place is way roomier than our old apartment," Benji said, impressed.

"I know, right. Looks like we picked a winner," Emily said. "We have room to grow."

"Maybe we ought to check out the city for the next few days and see where everything is," Benji suggested.

"Good idea. There are a few places I'd like to find in town," Emily said.

"And since we drove here, we definitely have our car so we can easily drive to whatever we can find," Benji said.

"And I'd like to see how big of a neighborhood this is. If it's big, odds are we'll have plenty of trick-or-treaters this Halloween," Emily speculated.

"Looks like we better find out soon, so we know how much candy to buy," Benji said.

"Yeah. So we'll spend the next week looking around the city. Then I start my new job and at the same time help you look for one," Emily said.

Over the course of two days, they found a nearby supermarket, bowling alley, coffee shop, and even a mall.
