It’s the little things that make me happy. Like finally being able to get a good morning stretch in on this trip. Though I was distracted for most of my yoga practice, I was at least able to do it. And that’s something to be thankful for. So I make a mental note to do something nice for Amelia to show my appreciation for everything she’s done for me.

I’m packing my bag in Amelia’s living room when Jeremy opens the front door. I freeze, my hand stuck in midair, a T-shirt clenched in my fingers. But, when I notice the boxes he’s carrying, I abandon my task, let the shirt fall, and head his way. I take the top box off the stack to clear his view.

He stops moving before realizing why one of his boxes is gone. “Oh, hey. I didn’t know you were still here.” Then he sets the boxes down a few feet from the door

“Sorry,” I tell him, setting the box I took on top of the others. “Amelia let me stay while Mason was busy with meetings. I didn’t feel like sitting in a hotel room alone.”

“Meli’s great like that, isn’t she?” he says, admiration for his girlfriend clear in his tone.

I nod, my ponytail swishing around my neck. “She really is.” And I mean that so much. It’s wonderful to see that Aidan has such incredible people in his life. People I could have in my own life if things were different.

“Thanks for helping,” he says. “A second move isn’t what I planned to do so soon, but the sooner Cadence can sell the house, the better. So moving boxes between jobs is a necessity, I guess.”

“I’m sure it’ll be worth it,” I reply.

After a small nod, he spins back toward the door. He goes to reach for the door handle, presumably to get more boxes, but he stops himself from turning the knob. Over his shoulder, he points his gaze at my bag and then up at my eyes. “Do you need a ride somewhere? I can drop you off on my way to the bakery.”

Seeing as he’s pretty much ignored me since I got here, I’m surprised by this offer. I’ve tried not to assume he hates me, but whatever Aidan’s said to him about me must not have been pretty. Or it could just be that Aidan had feelings for me and I let him fall on his face. I wouldn’t like me either if I were him. In fact, there was a while there when I didn’t. It took me years to get where I was before Mason did what he did and knocked me back down.

Maybe down to where I belong. Who knows.

Jeremy is Aidan’s friend though, and I’d like to get to know him if he’ll let me. Even if it’s for ten minutes in the car.

“That’d be perfect, actually. Thank you.” I finish throwing everything in my bag. I can fold everything later. I don’t want him to be late for work on my account.
