Fortunately for me, I could fit into my ex’s clothes and my job had a loose interpretation of “business casual,” so I was able to find something wearable in his closet.. I knew that the letter writer didn’t live in my building, as it was written in English and we were the only English speakers there. (It was not uncommon for students in a neighboring complex to use our laundry room, as the prices were cheaper than theirs.)

And I had a $5 bill in my wallet, and our building was directly behind a 7-11.
