LAUREN:
Holy cow! Ive inherited a cottage in Great Britain.
My grandma, a woman I never knew, has willed her cottage to me.
Any sane person would sell it, and use the money to better their lot in the city theyre living in, but my life sucks in a spectacular way, so I decided to take the road less travelled. In other words, the insane option. I quit my hopeless job, gave notice to my leech of a landlord, and got on a plane headed to England.
The plan is to make a new life.
But the cottage, I find out, is in a sorry, dilapidated state. Even so, after the first disappointment, and considering the limited funds at my disposal, I become determined to make it liveable again and bring it back to its glory days, because even in its terrible state I can see it must have been very charming and sweet once upon a time.
