Maybe the owner is expecting to host a lot of parties. Daemon will have to become close friends with the hot daughter so he can get some invites and possibly some exclusive inside photos.

That might be a little risky. We don't Daemon getting shot in the pursuit of exclusive photos.

It is my recollection that you shared you were a guy when discussing the sick bitch. Has the dog passed on and are you back into a condo now?
