My landlord

When I was apartment hunting for my current place, my landlord was on the other side of the country.  Literally.  So I rented from her live in boyfriend.  He kept telling me that he was communicating with her.

I never talked to her.  I never emailed her.  Everything went through the boyfriend.

That was the first week of April.

I moved in on April 25th.  Still didn't meet the landlord.  She wasn't back yet. 

Over the last month I was beginning to wonder if she was real.  Then I ran into her best friend at the library.  She must exist.

But she didn't come back. 

And then the landlord proxy told me that she was coming back.  Even gave a specific date.  So I waited to meet her.

The day came and went.  I didn't see her.  Did she return?  The landlord proxy said she did.  Why is this so odd?  Because I live in a house.  That has been split in 2 apartments.  I live in the back apartment.  The landlord and the landlord proxy live int he front apartment.  How hard would it be to miss seeing her? 

She has been home for 2 weeks now.  I have yet to meet her. 

I began to wonder if she were dead.  Or a myth. Or ...

But she wrote me a note today.  She may actually exist.
