Jesse

I rolled up to the parking lot in the back of the building to absolute chaos. I knew Jolene and Gerta, because who in town didn’t, but I had never actually been to their building before. There was a moving truck in the lot, with the back open and facing the building. There was also a huge furniture truck that took up most of the parking spaces, and a confused looking Harlow standing by the door, her hair pulled together on top of her head in a fluffy brown poof and a frown on her face.

To the left of Harlow, in the window of what I assumed was a first-floor apartment, stood a grim-faced man with a steel grey crew cut, wearing a dingy white t-shirt and a pair of khaki pants. I bet, if he were to come outside, I would see a pair of black dress socks and slippers on his feet. He looked like a typical grandpa type of guy—except for the scowl. I locked eyes with him as I walked up to the building, bouquet of flowers in my hand, and I gave a little wave with my empty hand. He didn’t acknowledge me, so I kept on walking.

“Gabe, I didn’t order these things! They are bringing in a new bed and everything,” Harlow was yelling into the phone. I was surprised to hear her addressing who I could only assume was her boss, in such a manner. She was visibly frustrated. Movers with blue uniforms were carrying in boxes from the truck, and men with the furniture store logo on their bright yellow shirts were bringing in a mattress and box springs. They moved around Harlow like she wasn’t even there—probably scared they were going to get yelled at too.

“What do you mean it's not your fault, Dino did it? He’s too big for a toddler bed, Gabe, and I know it’s cool because it’s shaped like a racecar and everything, but he is just going to crawl in bed with me, like he has done every night, so it’s a huge waste of his money, which I can’t figure out why he's spending it anyway!” I smiled as I got closer and stood in front of her. She was mad, and it was adorable. Her cute mouth pulled into a pout and her cheeks puffed out with air. I kind of wanted to reach out with a finger and poke one, but I also didn’t want to be on the receiving end of her yelling, so I walked past her and up the stairs to see what JJ was up to.

Inside was just as chaotic as outside. There were boxes stacked in rows against the walls and there were guys with yellow shirts inside as well. One was in the back room putting together a bed frame and two were setting end tables next to what looked like a brand-new sofa that sat against the wall next to the door. I could tell it was new because it still had plastic wrapped around the wooden feet on the bottom.
