Vanderpump Rules.

So I'm up here now, but the story actually takes place down in your region, San Fernando Valley. I'm a SoCal native, but I've been up here since a little bit after this story. This story takes place between 2012 and 2013. I was about 22 at the time. I'd been in a really serious relationship. It ended after six years and I was single for the first time. And it'd been a tumultuous year for me.

My mom was really sick with cancer. I'd been taking care of my grandpa that passed away. And I just was kind of deep in the trenches of life and just trying to figure out what adulthood was going to look like for me. I was single, living alone. And I had also, right after that long relationship ended, transitioned into a new job where I was an apartment manager.

And I was managing a pretty large multifamily low-income complex in the valley. I was in way over my head. I had a A manager's unit that came with my salary. And so I had a detached little four bedroom townhouse unit in the complex. And I had gotten two roommates at the time. And so the three of us were living there.

And what do you do when you're single and young in the valley and you don't know how to date? I started a couple online dating profiles.

2012, not a really familiar thing. I guess I should have known more about the red flags at many points in the story, but I didn't. And so that's what led me to meet Tom. So he invited me and one of my roommates over one night, just come over and hang out. We'll have some drinks.

He definitely had like a bit of a bad boy element and like the pictures and his correspondence.

He was the opposite. So we went over there, had a little night of fun, just hanging out pretty casual. I do remember like his house was really gross and... He was also living with his grandpa, which I just remember catching the grandpa in a hospital bed in one of the rooms of the house. We kept it casual for a few months. I was still dating around. It wasn't like anything exclusive.
