I was never very neat (整洁的), while my roommate Kate was very organized. Each of her objects
(物品) had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled everything. I always looked for
everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I
would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.

She was watching, her tears dried and her expression was full of disbelief. Then, she reached out her
hands. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me and said, “Thanks.”

to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.
