The place

Reed, Sam and their cat Olivia are moving into a fifth-floor one-bedroom at Trolley Pointe in Derby, Connecticut. It is the first apartment that is all their own.

They have been best friends since second grade and married for ten years. They went to the tour expecting to say no ("just collecting data") and said yes that same night.

About 980 square feet to make into a home, and move-in day is Sunday, November 29, 2026.

The first dinner in the new kitchen is already decided: cheesy pasta, around the island. Sam does most of the cooking; Reed's specialties are Alfredo and mac and cheese, and the plan is to cook a lot more in the new place. After years of making dinner on an 18-inch kitchen cart, they are getting a granite island.
