"I know. It's kind of odd, honestly." She's noticed the lack of animals and she's not particularly happy about it. If nothing else, she misses seeing the odd dog or cat wandering around or hearing the odd birdsong.

Chrissy nods at that, for a moment she's not sure how to feel about Steve being here. She's spoken to him maybe a handful of times but they were never particularly close. He was on the basketball team for a bit too, though she'd never really made a point of chatting much with the guys on the team so all she really knew about him was that he was on the team for a bit and seemed too nice to be hanging around with Jason and his friends. "I haven't seen him yet. I hope he's doing okay."

Maybe she'll see him around later. Who knows. "How long has it been for you?"
