Chapter 12

Jasper and I each took a final shower in the outdoor stall before packing up the next morning. We had been slow about getting out of there, unintentionally pushing our check out time until the last minute.

We stopped for a late breakfast on our way out of town, and it was almost noon by the time we got on the road. We talked as always, but Oregon's coast was so full of beauty that I constantly stared out of the window to take it in.

"I'm going to New Orleans," I said out of nowhere as I gazed out of the windows.

We had been talking about his brother, Max, who lived in Seattle with his wife, Story, and that was what prompted me to make that announcement. Jasper's other brother, Henry, and Henry's wife, Aiden, lived there as well. With all the family Jasper had in Seattle, I knew that living there would be somewhat of an extension of me living in Astoria.

I would have access to people I could count on.

I would have access to Jasper.

Those two things seemed like wonderful options, but I had to spread my wings. When it was time for me to move, I would not be moving to Seattle. It was something I had already thought and prayed about. It was already decided, I just hadn't told Jasper about it yet.

"New Orleans? You mean eventually?" Jasper knew the details of my plan. We had plenty of conversations discussing it.

"I'm going there first," I said shaking my head. "I changed my mind. I changed the plan. When Paige comes back, I'll go to New Orleans instead of Seattle."

"Why in the world would you want to do that?" he asked. He glanced at me from over the console, and I could see his eyebrows were furrowed. "I thought you were dead-set on sticking to the plan."

"I was, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that I no longer have to be so strict. I mean, none of this Astoria trip was in the plan, and it's been wonderful. It's taught me how to be flexible. Plus, I want to see something different."

"Seattle is different," he said.

"You know what I mean. I want to experience something totally new."

"Where is this coming from?" he asked. "I thought it was Seattle all the way. Are you being serious?"

"Yes," I said, nodding. "And I'm not just thinking of it right now. I actually started considering it not long after I got here. Coming here, and being here… I don't know. It just made me want to enjoy every minute of this experience. I don't want to make myself go to Seattle and Los Angeles first just because I had planned for them to be stops one and two. New Orleans seems wonderful to me. I like the history of it and the way it's such a melting pot. I love the whole jazz vibe, too. I want to check it out, and there's no reason I have to do it third instead of first.
