So, here we are, caught in the crossfire of a love story where Cupid’s arrow seems to have been replaced with a calculator. Our heroine, juggling her budget like a circus act, is faced with the ultimate question: to pay or not to pay rent to her beau, who is already sitting pretty in his new castle.
