Thud!
The bus slowly came to a halt at the stop on 80th Street.
Link got off the bus; the sky was still drizzling, but the rain had lessened significantly.
He purchased a bouquet of multi-petaled tulips, a freshly baked cheese pizza, and some fresh vegetables and fruits at the Costco on the street corner, and returned to the Yorkville apartment with his purchases.
After Link had confirmed their relationship with Ivanka, they had discussed living arrangements several times.
The first matter was whether to live together.
Both agreed that they should live together.
Link enjoyed the lively atmosphere of having more people around, making it less lonely, and living with Ivanka meant enjoying the pleasant sight of her presence daily even if they couldn't share a bed.
Ivanka felt that living together was convenient for discussing work and getting to know each other better.
The second issue was where to live?
Both Link and Ivanka owned properties in New York.
