It was strange being in Jenna’s house without her. Every time I turned a corner or opened a cupboard there were reminders of her. It’d been five weeks since I’d scattered her ashes and lost my mind, now I was starting to go stir crazy. Sorting out her affairs hadn’t been easy, either. I didn’t realise how much there was to do. Sell the car. Cancel her licence. I’d cancelled credit cards, returned library books, and disconnected her phone. I’d blown through more copies of her death certificate than I ever imagined I’d need.

I was lucky in a way, I guess. Jenna had done everything she could to make this easier for me. Her will was straight forward and simple. Everything was basically left to me. Except for a donation and a bank account set up for Kane, the rest was mine. The house. The car. Her money. I didn’t want any of it. I’d give it all back for another hour with her. Another minute just to tell her how much I loved her.

Today had been hard.

Harder than some of the others.

Today I’d tackled the job of sorting out Jenna’s wardrobe. Slowly, I’d been getting through it. I never thought I’d be the sort of person to cry over a toothbrush, but as I watched her purple toothbrush drop into the bin next to her lipstick and hairbrush, I fell apart. It was like losing her all over again. Jenna had been too young. She’d been too amazing. I hated that she was gone.

Tomorrow I’d take the bags of clothes down to the charity bin. Everything was cleaned out. The once-filled wardrobe was now empty and lifeless. The chest of drawers was bare. Just stepping foot into that room had taken me a week just to work up the courage. Back in the day, it’d been Spencer’s bedroom, and she had to pry me out of there and send me home. When I’d moved back, Jenna had taken it. It’s where she spent her final days and took her last breath. How one room could hold so many memories, I wasn’t sure.

Now I was rat-shit exhausted.

After changing and feeding Lachlan, he crashed out in his bouncer, buying me a quiet moment. As quick as I could, I set up the baby monitor and headed for a very much overdue bubble bath.

Sinking into the vanilla-scented bubbles, my overtired and aching muscles thanked me. Looking down at my legs, I was shocked at how out of control I’d let them get. With a handful of shaving cream, I coated my hairy legs and started the mammoth job of shaving them. I would’ve been better off with a weed whacker than the single bladed razor, but it was all I had. Once the forest had been cleared, and while Lachlan was napping, I took advantage. Slathering a face mask on, I spat out the bits that ended up in my mouth before settling back and letting my eyes fall closed.

A piercing scream woke me.
