I lose track of Nolan in all the chaos, not seeing him again until dinner—the last dinner Carter and Casey will eat as safehouse members. Everyone has mixed feelings, but the survivors seem to be excited for them to get started on the new chapter of their lives. Carter talks a little about the college he’s hoping to go to, trying to get Bryce and Nolan to feel better about them leaving. Casey doesn’t say much, but he sports a convincing enough smile for the meal. Jake and Travis are obviously messes, but that’s to be expected. I’m fucking ecstatic, but I’m trying to play it cool.

There’s a lot to get together before any of us feel safe enough for Carter and Casey to move away. Ace found them an apartment and has already run background checks on the landlord, the other occupants in the building, and the occupants of surrounding buildings. Now that Carter has chosen a college course, Ace is multitasking, running checks on his professor and classmates as well as creating a false transcript to go with his new identity. I’m going to handle getting all necessary accounts created for Carter and Casey, money transfers sorted out, phones activated, and IDs printed. I also need to call the man ahead of me in the chain of command and inform him of the change while also begging him to let Carter and Casey return to the safehouse for weekly therapy despite it being against the rules. Once it’s dark, Ace is going to drive into town and install cameras and a security system in the new apartment.

It’s a lot to do, but I’m so fucking excited about Carter finally taking a step away from Travis to work on himself that I don’t even feel affected by it all. That doesn’t mean I forget about Nolan and our nights by the fire. After having him sleep in bed next to me, I feel wrong ghosting him like I’ve been the previous nights. He was right, we don’t hide from each other.

When Ace leaves, I head downstairs to find Nolan. I can’t be down there tonight, but I can invite him to keep me company in the office while I do some more work. I know he won’t be thrilled, especially because I still haven’t seen the doctor, but I’d give just about anything to have him with me. I fucking miss him. He said it himself last night, he misses me too.

Nolan isn’t down in the living room. Or the kitchen. Or the laundry room. Or the gym. Or the pool. Or Dr. Singh’s empty office. Or the reading room. Or anywhere outside.

Maybe he was too tired to wait up? Or assumed I was too busy? Part of me wants to knock on his bedroom door, but the last thing I want is to disrupt his or Matt’s sleep. Besides, I have plenty to do. I’ll see him in the morning.

Except, I don’t see him in the morning either. He didn’t cook breakfast despite it being Carter and Casey’s last day.
