Out with the old, in with the new . . . roommate?

Emma Herman, Bailey Bischoff

Emma:

My beloved roommate was finishing a stint on Capitol Hill, and it was time to transition to a new roommate for the apartment we had been sharing. The new girl came with rave reviews from a friend who knew us both. But there was a problem: This roommate and I had a history. And it wasn’t a great one.

In college, we’d worked together on some projects, and it hadn’t gone well, leaving our relationship distant and tinged with resentment. Nevertheless, she needed a place to live, and I needed a roommate. So it was decided that she would come.
