BEAU

I hefted the box marked office off the living room floor and carried it to the correct room. The process of unpacking was happening at a turtle’s pace, but I was slowly getting there. Along with the kitchen, I’d also managed to unpack my bedroom and bathroom, a guest room, and was now working on the downstairs office.

Once I finished in here, I’d start on the living room. It would be nice to finally be able to hook my television up. My assistant had taken care of having the cable turned on before I’d even moved in, but with most of the boxes I wasn’t sure what to do with piled in the living room, I hadn’t been able to set everything up. I was the kind of guy who liked to have the television playing in the background, creating white noise for me as I went about whatever I was doing, and not being able to do that lately had made things pretty boring.

I could only watch The Office on my phone or laptop for so long before the small screens started to hurt my eyes.

My house was slowly starting to look like a home, as opposed to the nightmare maze from The Shining, only with cardboard boxes instead of hedges, and now that I could see everything coming together, I was starting to feel more settled. Like I belonged. There had been more times than I could count where I’d come home from a long day at work and cursed myself when I saw the mess still ready and waiting for me. My finger had hovered over the number for the company that came in and set your house up for you, but now that I could actually see the results of the long, tedious hours I’d put in, there was a sense of accomplishment I’d never felt before.

As embarrassing as it was to admit, I’d never actually done anything like this before. When I left for college, my mom had taken over packing my shit up when she didn’t like how I’d been doing it, and the same thing happened when we got to my dorm room at OU. When I’d been drafted, the team had paid to move me out to Arizona and an interior decorator had come in and set my house up before I even got there. With flying back and forth for job interviews and campus visits, I hadn’t had the time to pack myself this go-round, but I was determined to do the unpacking without any help. I was a thirty-four-year-old man, for Christ’s sake. It really was the little things that pointed out the fact a person was an entitled ass, wasn’t it?

I dropped the box onto the desk and grabbed the box cutter, slicing through the tape that sealed it closed.

I removed a bunch of basic office supplies before my fingers brushed across the top of a spiral-bound notebook I hadn’t seen in a very long time. My heart shot up, lodging itself in my throat as I gently lifted it from the box.
