Something is truly magical about a sunrise. It’s proof that second chances do exist. Today is especially captivating, and when I rose, I almost felt reborn. I showered, then savored a cup of coffee in silence while overlooking my yard. I’ll miss this place. Regardless of the bitter memories, I also have fond ones.

I know this house will make another family happy, just as it once did for me. But it’s my time to move on and find a new sanctuary, a place I can call home.

After finding her contact details on a scrap piece of paper Sam had shoved under a phone book, I emailed Hayley Regan, eager to get this property on the market as soon as she returns from vacation. In the meantime, just as I told Saxon I would, I’ll pack up my belongings and prepare to move. And that’s why I’m sitting on the kitchen floor, boxing up pots and pans. I gave up on the utensil drawers about an hour ago because if I saw another spork, I’d be tempted to stab myself in the eye with it.

A lot of these are close to brand new as we received a heap of kitchenware for our engagement. We used the staple go-to for everyday cooking. All the other stuff—like this tagine, for instance—was just taking up room.

I’m happy to let Sam pick what he wants, and I’ll take whatever is left. I don’t know where I’m moving to, so less is best. And besides, I think I’d much rather buy everything new.

Sluggish footsteps drag along the hallway, hinting that whoever they belong to is in serious need of coffee. “Oh, god, has it always been this bright?”

Peering up at Sam, I can’t help but laugh. His hair is snarled in every direction, and his eyes are squinted to half-mast. “I just made a fresh pot of coffee.”

He jolts, my voice appearing to startle him from his stupor. “Thanks.” He scans the room, and when he notices me on the floor, he does a double take. Now that he’s semi composed, he takes in his surroundings and whistles. “Wow, how long have I been asleep for?”

The kitchen does look like a tornado has torn through it, so I don’t blame him for thinking he has slept for days. “I thought I’d start packing up in here. I think I overachieved.” Sam laughs, before stepping past me to make a beeline for the coffee.

He pours himself a cup and takes a long sip. I continue packing everything into boxes, aware of Sam watching me closely. “I didn’t realize how hard this was going to be. We have so much stuff. We can split everything in half? Or…”

But he shakes his head, interrupting me. “Take it all. I don’t want it.”

I pause with a saucepan in hand, en route to the box. “No, that’s not fair. This stuff is both of ours.”

Sam exhales, surveying everything sprawled out in front of him. “And that’s exactly why I don’t want it.
