That's good news and Joel brightens a little, though he tries not to show it. The landlord is obviously having trouble getting rid of the place, so if the agent tries to pressure them into anything by saying time is of the essence, it isn't going to work and he's fairly certain if they ask for a little time to think about it, they might be offered a slightly better situation yet.

He knows Raleigh wants this place and he doesn't want her to think he disagrees, so he flashes her a small, secretive smile before turning to look at the agent.

"I think we'd like to take a bit of time to think about it," he says. "There's a lot of work to be done." And there is, but the agent doesn't know that Joel can do a good portion of it himself, that the amount of work they'd have to contract out is actually quite small. "Raleigh? Say a few hours for us to talk about it?"
