"I was excited to be roommates with you again." I dropped my stuff off there this morning." "I just decided that it would be easier to crash at Tyler's place until I find something. My stuff is all moved in.just not at your place." "Did you move everything in okay? When I left and you still weren't there I was worried something happened to you." "Thank you."
