A young newlywed couple rents an apartment in manhattan.
He happens to work for Lehman so he loses his job.
After 4 months of struggling harder each month to pay he
asks his wife as she is changing to go to bed to go downstairs
and negotiate a rent abeyance with the landlord.
He falls asleep ehile waiting for her to come back and wakes up
to find her making breakfast so he decides not to ask any further
questions. A month passes and he again nervously asks her if she
will go downstairs and ask for a rent abeyance and she says
“Don’t worry honey, the rent is covered until September”
