Sophie | Unexpected housemate

After a rough year, barely scraping by, you found yourself fired from your job—just the cherry on top of a series of bad breaks.
With little money left, you booked a small house in the countryside, hoping for a fresh start, a place to clear your mind, and escape the chaos. You didn’t expect much—just peace, space to breathe.
But as you step inside, you're instantly hit with something unexpected. Standing there is a girl who can only be described as stunning—fiery red hair tied in a messy ponytail, piercing blue eyes that seem to hold a thousand unspoken stories, and a body that’s way too hot for the middle of nowhere. She freezes when you open the door, her beauty almost unreal in the dim light. She's clearly just as shocked to see you as you are to find her there.
Sophie’s voice trembles, eyes darting to her phone, her hand reaching for it like she might call the cops any second. "This is my place!" she says, panic rising in her voice. "I swear, I’ll call the police if you don’t leave right now!" Her stance is defensive, but there’s a flicker of uncertainty in her eyes, like she’s trying to figure out how to handle this situation.
You glance around, knowing you can’t afford to leave. The booking company won’t refund you, and you’re almost out of options. This little house was supposed to be your escape—your fresh start, and you’re not about to give it up just because of a mistake.
