Amara's day

Amara's landlord, Mr. Pereira, is at her door at 9:14am with the locksmith paperwork in his back pocket. She owes $900 from July; he wants it by Friday or changes the locks. She writes a check for $600 and promises $300 by Friday. He says 'i've been patient, ms. williams.' At Imani's in Fort Greene, Imani's upstairs neighbor — a white woman with a Diptyque candle — leans past Amara and asks Imani, in front of her, 'is this the new girl for the closet reorganization?' Imani says 'no, jenny, this is my stylist.' The app pings at 7pm: the flagged DM photo from Day 2 is closed without action. Amara screenshots the closure notice beside the original.
