The movers had arrived bright and early. Even though it was only lunch time, the large truck parked out front was almost loaded with everything she and Billy had decided to take with them.

Sarah tried calling her brother again and left another message when he didn’t answer. She wasn’t sure if he would want to house-sit for them or not, but it might be nicer for him than the small apartment surrounded by noisy neighbors that he had now. She didn’t have to make a decision about the house today. He would call back when he could, and she would go from there.

Sarah walked from room to room, surprised by the sadness that descended on her. Although they were leaving most of their furniture behind since the new house was already furnished, it still felt bare without their personal effects lying around. This was her and Billy’s first home together. Maybe if the house they were moving into really felt like it was theirs, she would feel differently. Right now it felt to her like they were moving into Billy’s office or something just as impersonal.

She went outside and walked through what was left of the garden; just the cold-hardy crops remained. She would ask the Bensons, their neighbors who raised the chickens, if they wanted to take care of it until they got someone else into the house.

They could either have the produce for themselves or for their chickens if they were interested. She wondered if there was some way to hint to them that maybe they should start storing some extra food for emergencies without sounding corny.

She bent to pull a few small weeds out of habit. She and Billy hadn’t even told their parents they were moving, she realized. That wasn’t too surprising since it had literally happened overnight. She wasn’t sure she was ready to talk to her parents about it yet.

She could just hear her mom. She had always wanted the best for her only daughter, and when she found out Sarah would be living in Scinegue she would be ecstatic. And annoying. Sarah imagined the conversation, with her mom indirectly badmouthing Billy, even as she gloried in the fact that her daughter would finally be living in a house worthy of her. Sarah rolled her eyes at the imagined conversation.

She decided that was a phone call she was going to postpone. It wasn’t like her parents ever dropped in unannounced. Living out of town, they hardly dropped by at all. She could count on one hand the times they had even been to this house. Billy’s parents stopped by a little more frequently, though. She would remind Billy to let them know they were moving for a while.

Would it just be a while? she wondered, looking around the yard. Would Billy really just be able to waltz into the company, find all their dark and dirty secrets, expose them, and then walk away at all, much less quickly?

“Oh Lord, give us strength for whatever
