James and April had just moved to their new apartment. The walls were freshly painted and the appliances were new.
“You really should test the smoke detector,” April said. The light was out.
“I don’t think that’s such a good idea,” James replied.
“Are you sure?”
“Honey, it’s almost twelve o’clock.”
“It’s not going to make much noise.”
We just moved in. We can’t wake anyone,” James said.
“Fine, fine. you can do whatever you want,” April replied.
“I honestly just don’t want to wake anyone up.”
Later that night, the complex was engulfed by flames. James and April escaped.
