Roomie
Though Misty was making good money through her job, Ivan was just starting out and the house debt hung over their head. The pair decided to get a new roomie. After numerous interviews, they found the perfect guy. He was a bit squeamish about things, but was nice. Things hit off well between the trio and they became good friends.
Ivan and Misty were still figuring things out between them while juggling their career and their roomie was a great listener. He occasionally had his girlfriend over, but that was never a problem. And he often cleaned up without them asking. Things were looking great.
Getting Fired
At least they were until Ivan was told to write a review of a restaurant by his boss that was only positive. Ivan was torn. He liked being honest with his reviews and to be paid to write a good review didn't sit well with him. Risking it all, Ivan stuck by his morals and wrote the review, embedding it with a secret code with his honest feelings.
At first it went on without a hitch, but then people began discovering the code and a buzz started. Ivan never expected the popularity the code would have and so it was no surprise it got back to his boss and he was fired. Coming home to tell Misty about what happened was no small feat, especially since he knew his fiance was struggling with burn out at her job and was looking to pay back the loan before going after her bakery dream.
To his relief, Misty was supportive, believing he did the right thing by sticking to his morals. The two discussed him using his newfound fame to find another critic job, but in the end Ivan decided to try a writing job.
As he started his new job, they got some more bad news. Their roommate decided to move on temporarily due to a family emergency, leaving them short once again on money.
