Lydia has put a self-imposed moratorium on things Scott gets up to for her own sanity.

"I was thinking you know, between our respective allowances and if we could both find something to do, we could actually afford an apartment for ourselves. We wouldn't have to go very far from Scott and Melissa." Oh yes, she's Melissa now.

She can't help but add, "I don't think Scott would let us anyway." Her smile is wry. "Go that far, not get a place of our own, I mean."
