Grace smiled. "Are you going on a date, Noelle? You're even wearing a skirt today."

Noelle swirled around. "How does it look?"

"It's beautiful! Your legs look so flawless. I'm so jealous." Grace realized what she had said and quickly changed the subject.

Noelle grabbed her bag and headed downstairs. As she walked, she noticed someone had spilled their takeout on the stairs, making the floor dangerously slippery.

Grace checked the photo and glanced at their new roommate, who was sitting at her desk. "If you're heading out later, don't use that staircase. Noelle said someone spilled their food and didn't bother to clean it up."

The new roommate was surprised before murmuring, "Thanks for the warning."

Grace didn't say anything else. Their new roommate was quiet, and they coexisted peacefully.
