Me – Totally okay. And yes. He did. Thank you for checking in on me.
Harlee – No worries.
Harlee – Got some help later on today to get you all moved in.
Me – Oh, you didn’t need to do that. Besides, I only have a few things. I’ve got it.
Harlee – Are you sure?
Me – Totally. Thank you for the offer, though.
Harlee – Okay, well, I’ll see you on Friday for orientation or whatever it’s called.
Me – Lol sounds good.
Then I frowned at the other two text messages.
Sara – I am so sorry. Please don’t throw our friendship away over this.
Kyle – Baby, where are you?
Since neither one of them deserved a reply, I didn’t bother with it.
Apparently, I had made a face or something because Alec asked, “Everything okay?”
I looked over to where I heard his voice and found him at the coffee pot.
He was starting a pot.
At my nod, he nodded.
Then he said, “Garrick, my brother just texted me. Got your car. Sent someone to get it last night. Your battery terminals were loose. Your car is good to go. Get some coffee, and I’ll take you over there so you can get it.”
I nodded, “Thank you, Alec. Really.”
He winked, “Think nothing of it.”
Yes, I offered to change his sheets, but he had shaken his head.
But I did cook breakfast of eggs, toast, and ham.
An hour later, I had an argument with Alec, Garrick, and a man named Dom about them saying I didn’t owe anything.
Well... we’d just have to see about that.
It was an hour later, and I had the keys to my place, the food I had grabbed yesterday with Alec was in my fridge, my car was unloaded.
Just in time to get everything settled before I started my new job.
Then I tagged my keys, locked the door, and headed to my car.
I checked the address I had written down weeks ago and then started in that direction.
It was about a seventeen-minute drive, and when I pulled my car up in front of an older house, I recognized the front porch swing.
It was painted red, to match the door.
Jacob’s favorite color on Elaine.
