29 Trad wanted to give his soulmate the world. And in so many ways he already had. He transformed her entire existence. Going from a tiny, overpriced apartment blocks from Wrigley Field to a sprawling ranch in rural Montana, Claire’s physical life couldn’t be more different. She had told him once that her entire apartment could fit in a fourth of one of his spare bathrooms. In a delightfully adorable way, she eagerly brought her lover in to show him just what she meant. “Where the toilet is,” Claire explained, “that was the size of my entire kitchen!” Continuing, “and where the tub is - that was the size of both my living room and bedroom, combined!” They both laughed as they embraced. Trad knew Claire was the first girl he had ever met that wasn’t interested in him for the money.
