Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen 17 Summary The narrator is surprised when Claire, the daughter of the apartment's owner, reveals that she knows him and has been expecting him as a tenant. She thanks him for helping her escape a dangerous situation earlier and casually mentions that she is now the legal owner of the apartment. Despite this, the narrator reminds her that he has a signed lease giving him tenancy rights, and he also saved her from a stalker.

Claire then surprises him further by saying she is moving in as well, offering to be either his landlady or roommate, emphasizing that she is "gorgeous" and that the rent will be half-off with no utilities. The narrator is taken aback by this unexpected arrangement, especially since the apartment has only one bathroom and two bedrooms, which could lead to awkwardness.

As Claire flirts with him and tries to make the situation more comfortable, the narrator hesitates but ultimately agrees, reasoning that he's a grown man and this arrangement might be better than dealing with moving and packing alone. He also considers the safety aspect, since it's late at night and the earlier stalker might still be around. Claire happily claims the bedroom without his luggage and seems confident and at ease in the apartment. She leaves the narrator with a playful wave, signaling a new and unexpected chapter in their living situation.
