Thane picked her up at the daycare the next evening. She didn’t need a bodyguard. Iris didn’t think Don would come looking for her. But if he did, it was nice to know she didn’t have to wait at a deserted bus stop.

When they arrived at Thane’s house, he opened the door and made a grand gesture with his hand toward the stack of boxes inside the door. “I took a few hours off this afternoon. When Don texted you and said to come and pick up your things, you said that you didn’t want to go. I know the marshal went over to your old apartment and picked up the boxes. If there’s anything missing, we can worry about it later.”

“Thanks. I really appreciate this.” Iris dropped to her knees and opened the top of the first box. “My mom bought this scarf for me last Christmas.” She picked out another item and frowned. “It seems so final.”

“You don’t want it to be final with Don?”

“That’s not what I meant.” She shook her head. “It just feels like I’m starting over from scratch. The apartment belonged to both of us. But, he was right. Everything was in his name and now I’m the one who gets to start over. It was rent money out the door for me, I guess. This stinks. I don’t have enough to make a down payment on an apartment in Seattle. The rent is way out of my league to get a place on my own.”

Thane sat on the floor beside her, pulled up his legs, and rested his long arms across his knees. He lifted a hand and ran it through his dark hair. “If I didn’t make it clear last night, you are more than welcome to stay here as long as you like. I don’t want you to read more into this. It’s just a friend helping a friend.”

“I’m not kicking you out of your bed for another night.”

“You don’t have to.” He grinned. “The marshal arrived earlier than I thought, so I had the whole afternoon off. I ran over to Ikea and picked up a basic mattress and frame.”

He stood and then picked one of the boxes off the floor. Thane led her down the hall and opened the bedroom room door. The white bedframe and bed was already made with flowered sheets and a puffy comforter.

“You shouldn’t have done this.”

“Why? When I got off work early, I had some free time. I didn’t know what to do with it, so I used it to clean up the spare bedroom. Just to warn you, there is only one side of the closet cleaned out. The other side…I wouldn’t open it. It could be dangerous. If you open it things might fall out on you.”

“This is great. But, I can’t expect to stay here for free.”

“How about a hundred dollars a month and you buy half the groceries. I eat a lot, so you’d better think about my offer before saying yes.
