Timing

Curled up in bed, Charlotte was on her fourth box of tissues when Amila left the room, to make breakfast for everyone. She held her cell phone in one hand swiping through pictures of her and Auggie with the other. Charlotte was glad Amila had stayed the night in her room, loving on her as she cried. Especially since she had no idea what was wrong. Every time Amila asked, Charlotte tried to answer but couldn't. Now, that she was alone all she wanted to do was look at pictures of him and remember what it felt like to be in his arms.

Pulling her cell phone to her chest, Charlotte squeezed her eyes closed, hugging her phone. When it vibrated, the thought that it might be him sent chills down her arms. She was new to this feeling and her heart felt so raw and broken, it didn't matter what he had to say, she just wanted him to talk to her.

Lifting her phone, she blinked a few times surprised at who the message was from.

T: Hello my beauty.

Shaking her head, Trace always had impeccable timing.

T: All meetings have come to an end. Would you like me to fly down and bring you back early or are you enjoying your stay?

Pausing for a moment, Charlotte swallowed hard.

C: No, come now. I want to go home.

T: I am pleased to hear that. I look forward to seeing you and resolving your concerns considering our future.

There was no future with Trace, at least not for her, but she wanted to get as far away from her heartache as soon as possible.

C: We can have a conversation.

T: Your father will expect a proposal when I arrive.

C: He'll get over it.

There was a few minutes delay before his reply.

T: I may not...

She didn't have the patience to deal with his ego.

C: Are you coming or not?

T: Will you at least wear the dress I sent?"

Charlotte rolled her eyes.

C: Sure.

T: Thank you my lovely. I will arrive Friday morning. We will depart at seven that evening.

C: Perfect!

Turning her cell phone off before placing it on her nightstand, Charlotte's heart hurt at the thought of everything she would be leaving behind. There was no way she was going to allow herself to stay in this stupid town feeling heartbroken and lovesick for someone who didn't give a damn about her.

Loading a box into the back of his truck, Auggie had stayed up all night talking aloud to Will as he packed up his brother's room. He talked to him about how much it sucked to manage the bar, how crazy Charlotte made him before he realized how wonderful she was and even told him he was sorry for not being a better brother to him when he was alive. Will's mattress and dresser went into the garage while he packed bags for Goodwill to pick up. Aside from a few things he decided to keep, he was bringing the rest to his mom.

It was actually a
