Ben, not realizing he'd under-priced the room, is inundated with replies to his Craigslist ad. One reply stands out to him from the rest, though, for reasons he can't quite put his finger on.
An invitation to feel each other out.
No worries on that score!
The night before their meeting Ben realizes he doesn’t know what Rey looks like, either.
Ben gets some omegas replying to his ad, but he quickly dismissed them all.
7. Always get the important info up front and in writing.
8. Ben opens his email to send Rey the info he told her he’d send. It takes him a full 30 minutes to wade through all the spam his Craigslist posting has gotten him. Don’t these people have better things to do with their time?
He decides never to use Craigslist again.

9. Ben carefully drafts the email to Rey, trying hard not to think about how pretty she is, or how enticing her mouth was last night when she devoured those cupcakes.
Thank god she’s a beta. It may be the only thing that saves his sanity in the end.

10. (NSFW)
Rey opens the attachments to Ben’s email and nearly falls out of her chair.
What the HELL has she gotten herself into?

11. Rey is having second thoughts.
12. Rey engages in a little google reconnaissance to help make up her mind. He was relatively normal when they met for cupcakes, after all.
Not to mention hot.
After 20 minutes of sleuthing Rey needs to be marked down as both scared and horny.

13. The boxes start appearing two days after Rey signs the lease. People start to notice.
14. A little tummy ache
15. Rey hasn’t even fully moved in yet and already Ben finds himself distracted at work.
16. Ben can’t focus on work at all. He eventually works up the courage to text his gorgeous not-yet-roommate to see if she would like to spend time with him.
17. A whole new world
18. Rey follows Poe’s advice and tries reaching out to Ben. But 404: Ben Solo Not Found.
19. Ben Solo checks his email
20. As Ben gathers his courage to message Rey to tell her about the break-in, he goes through and deletes the horrifying emails waiting for him after his lust-filled Internet bender last night.
Right now he is little more than hot shame incarnate.

21. Ben re-checks Rey’s belongings for the tenth time to re-confirm that they were not tampered with during the break in. They still smell like her—all beta.
He takes a deep breath and texts her on his brand new phone.

22. No breakthrough heats, like—ever.
