Adam is still sleeping when I wake in the morning. His sisters are like their own little cleaning crew. They wouldn’t leave last night until the house looked like it did before they came.

I move around the cabin quietly, not wanting to wake him. When I insert the key in the closet and pull the door open, it makes way more noise than I expected and I freeze, looking up and listening. He’s done me this solid, and I don’t want to cause him more pain by having him look at our wedding photos or whatever else is in here.

When I hear no movement in the bedroom above, I finish opening the door. I release a breath when I see stacked boxes, none of them labeled. I pick one up and tiptoe back to the master bedroom. I go back and forth from the closet to the bedroom until I can shut the door and lock the now empty closet.

I open the first box and find a bunch of framed photos. There are a few of the two of us when we were younger. Another one from when we were crowned homecoming king and queen in high school. A few medals and trophies of Adam’s. A newspaper clipping of what an athlete Adam Greene was and how Division One schools were bidding on him due to his older brother Xavier already having a killer start at his college.

There are a lot of pictures of Adam’s family and one of him and his mom when he was younger. Then I realize these pictures aren’t from our house together—these are from his room. His childhood bedroom.

It was right after our high school prom and I’d brought him over the framed picture. Marla and Hank were gone. We were allowed to be in his bedroom but with the door open. Since his parents were gone, he shut the door and we laid on his bed side by side.

He turned to face me, his hand sliding under the hem of my shirt, running back and forth along my bare skin.

“So they say you’re the next big football star,” I said, reading over the article again from the fall season.

He took it out of my hands and put it next to his bed. “Forget that. We’re going to Anchorage.” He nuzzled his face in my neck, his hand sliding up my torso toward my breast. “We only have an hour before they get back.”

“Are you going to hate me in ten years?” I turned toward him and his hand pulled my body flush against his.

He kissed the tip of my nose. “We’ve been over this. I want this.”

“I can’t have you hate me. I’d never be able to live with myself.”

“Relax, I’m good. As long as I’ve got you, I’m happy.” He kissed my lips, but I broke off the kiss right away.

“You sure?”

“Yes, now we have fifty-five minutes until they get home.” His hand slid up my back and unclasped my bra. “Whoops.”

“What if
