One Way Street
From the nature of this text, there is a lot we don’t know. For example, who is Aaron? A friend or a roommate? How would the landlord know if someone was coming over to his place? Perhaps Aaron is a superintendent. But that’s not the weirdest thing about this text message exchange.
Dennis’s tenant addressed him as “cuh”, which is slang for someone you know at a street level. Not a professional level. Seems like these two have a pretty friendly and lowkey relationship. So what’s wrong with sending a friendly wink emoji? Maybe Dennis’s tenant took it as a flirtatious response and a step too far.
