The Last Memory: Chapter 8
"So, I will need my ID for this new job," Trenton said, taking a bite of her green beans. "Do you know where that is?" Pam looked at her closely before answering. "I know that I have it, but I will have to look to see where I put it."

"What about that hardware store over there?" Trenton suggested, looking over at Pam. "I don't see how that could hurt," Pam said, pulling into a parking spot next to the store. "You go in and seeing they are hiring. I'm going to get a coffee from across the street."

The Last Memory: Chapter Six
Trenton locked the bathroom and turned around to wash her face. The cool water felt nice against her skin and after wiping her face with the soft green towel on the towel rack, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was slightly worn with a few wrinkles in the creases of her forehead and surrounding her lips. She looked tired and her blue eyes seemed faded in color, like she had endured a lifetime of experiences already.

The Last Memory: Chapter Five
Trenton walked down the stairs, feeling the air cool down around her as she got to the bottom. The basement was dark and there was only one light bulb on the ceiling to brighten everything up. Trenton scouted the room for the dryer, finding it in the far corner of the room. She opened the door, pulled the clothes out, and set them on top of the dryer.

Pets and Partners
Another situation that you and your partner might experience if the two of you stay together for a while is whether or not the two of you will get a pet. This can be a difficult decision to make, especially if one of you has always had pets and isn’t used to not having one. This might also be a hard decision to make if one of you isn’t used to having a pet around. Either way, this is a huge decision to make, because if the two of you decide to take a pet into your house, then you will need to realize that you will not only have a new responsibility but you will have a living, breathing creature that needs constant support and affection in your lives. Knowing this, you might want to make sure that you are in the right position to cater to this animal’s needs.

Friendly Encounters
If your partner introduces you to his or her family, then it is probably only a matter of time until he or she introduces you to his or her friends. Meeting your partner’s friends might help you understand more about how your partner spent his or her time before you were there. You want to go into this situation with a polite and respectful attitude, and you want to make an effort to express interest in the lives of these new people. If you come off as standoffish, then you might make a bad first impression, and this might put your partner in an odd situation where he or she feels like he or she has to choose between you and his or her friends. You don’t want to do this to your partner, because it might strain the relationship that the two of you have. Think about it. Your partner has probably known his or her friends for way longer than he or she has known you, and if you come into the relationship already having issues with his or her friends, then your partner might decide to end your relationship due to you putting him or her in the position of having to choose between his or her friends and you.

Considering the Odds
If your relationship with your partner is going well, then the two of you might decide that it is time to take the next step. You might decide to move in with each other. Before you do this, sit together and write a list of pros and cons in taking this next step. This might sound silly, but by writing these down, you might be able to see a better picture of if you and your partner are ready for this new move. This will also give both of you the chance to discuss your expectations and fears upon taking this step.
