Not that I feel like I have much choice, but I drop my resistance. Axel makes the move easy for me. He or his new employer arranges everything.

All I have to do is decide which stuff to bring with me and which stuff to leave behind.

“Hope, can I leave some boxes here?” I ask one afternoon as I’m going through my things.

“Of course you can, honey. Leave them on the shelf there, or if it’s clothes, store them in the closet.”

“Yeah, I doubt I’ll need shorts or sundresses up there,” I mumble, glancing down at my favorite pair of lavender shorts. “Not that I can fit back into these, anyway.”

Hope chuckles. “Heidi, you’re beautiful.”

I stop and glance down. “I’m okay with the bigger boobs. The bigger hips, not so much.”

Hope chuckles and from the doorway, someone clears their throat.

“Hey, Murphy,” Hope calls out. She waves him in and he stands inside the doorway looking uncertain.

“Need any help?”

“No. I think—well, maybe.” I point to a stack of boxes in the middle of the floor. “That stuff I want to ship up there.”

Hope checks her phone and stands. “I need to run back to my house for something.” Her gaze darts between Murphy and me as if she’s asking me if we’ll be okay.

“Thanks for your help.”

Murphy watches her go then turns to me. “So you’re really doing this?”

“Looks like it.”

He glances at Alexa. “Can she even fly at this age?”

“Doctor said it was okay. Axel found a new doctor up there, so at least I’m all set with that.”

“That’s good.” By the sound of his voice, none of this is good as far as he’s concerned. After a bit of silence, he tips his head up and focuses on me. “I hate that you’re going so far away.”

“Me too. But it’s just a year.”

“Is this really what you want, Heidi?”

“No.” Might as well be honest. I’m sick of lying to the people I care about all the time. “I’m trying to make the best of it. Who knows, maybe I’ll finally get to check out the Pan-American Highway.”

His head snaps back as if I’d sucker-punched him.

“It’s okay, Murphy. I’m excited, too. You know I’ve always wanted to see new places.”

“I—Yeah, okay.” He stares at me for a few more seconds, then taps one of the boxes with the side of his boot. “Where you want to ship these from? FedEx?”

It’s good that he moved to a more practical topic of conversation, because inside, I’m slowly unraveling. “I don’t know. Axel said there’s a freight service company in Seattle we can ship them to, and they’ll send it up from there? But I don’t think it’s enough stuff to do that.”

“I’ll figure it out for you.”

“Thanks. I’m going to have to buy so much crap when we get there.”

“Sounds like it.”

“Hey,” Axel says as he comes in the room. He sends a sharp look Murphy’s way before wrapping an arm around my waist. “What’s going on?”

“Nothing. Murphy was going to help me ship those boxes—”

Axel shoots a glare at Murphy.
