Salem knew there were better places to live. She'd heard of the prettier houses, the small but neat apartments--hell, she probably should've crashed at the hotel for the night. However, as she was making her way through the town for the first time, Saem couldn't help but be drawn in by the abandoned general store with the fading front sign. When she first entered, it was practically barren--only a few empty shelves and a counter where, presumably, a cash register once stood. Upon further notice, she realized that the basement would comfortably fit a blow up mattress and all of her belongings, while the attic would be ideal for growing her plants.
Speaking of which, Salem was just rushing behind the counter, hiding her tobacco plants, when she saw Teddy approaching the store with boxes containing the few belongings she still had left. Except her jewels, of course. Those were still somewhere out of town; she figured the longer she waited to retrieve them the better.
Salem finished tucking the tobacco under the counter before stepping in front of the door. She opened the creaky door, earning a weak ding from the old bell that hung above them.
