CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

“Tom, I’m going to help Eric and Rayn pack their things to move. I’ll be back in a few hours,” Allexa announced.

“Great. I think it’s a good idea for everyone to move into town. Is there anything I can do?”

“Yeah…don’t be angry when I move out.” She knew this moment would come and felt the sooner they dealt with it the better.

“Exactly what do you mean by move out? I know it’s been awkward with you and me living in the same house without Jim here, but I don’t think anyone finds it inappropriate. Do you want to move in with one of your sons?” Tom frowned, thinking about the big house feeling empty.

“No, Tom. I want to move back to my house.” Allexa sat on one of the wooden kitchen stools and sipped her coffee. “I miss my house. I miss my cat. I miss my life! And I really need to be by myself for a while.” A tear slipped down her cheek.

“You miss the colonel that much?”

“No. Yes.” Allexa sighed. “Look, sure I miss him. You have to understand, our relationship is very complex. Although our affection for each other is real, I think that in part, it developed to help me get past Mark’s death. I’m past it now, and Jim is still my close and dear friend, but he is and always will be married to the military. That will never change, and it’s a big reason he isn’t here now.” She took another sip of coffee. “I don’t know how to explain this, other than I want and need to go home now.”

Tom nodded and walked away.
