I leaned down and checked the dryer, pulling out the pile of clothes and taking them into the bedroom, where I tossed them on the unmade bed

The entire room smelled like Trix I didn’t look around as I picked my boxers and t-shirts out of the clean clothes My hands were shaking

I sat down on the edge of the bed and scrubbed my palms over my face It shouldn’t be so hard to pack up so?

Trix was going to have to pack the apart up on the end of thewith her parents for the foreseeable future Probably a good thing with two babies coone by the ti for an extra e space—shit Not my problem

My leg bounced up and down as I stared at the open doorway

Two hours later, I foundyet another load of laundry The baskets had been full of dirty clothes and I hadn’t been able to leave them

I also hadn’t been able to leave the dishes in the sink, the trash in any of the garbage cans, the floor unvacuumed, the kitchen unswept, or the counter messy

“Hulk, you here,room

I stuffed the last load of dirty laundry into the washingroom

“Don’t ask,” I warned as Will looked around the spotless apartment

“You call and I show up—just like always,” Willhis arms in the air “No questions asked”

“Good” I walked to the front door as I slipped a clean t-shirt over my head, then my cut on top of that “I need a ride”

I took two steps into the apartment and stopped dead

“What the fuck?” Iroom

The place was bare, completely cleaned out except for stacks and stacks of plastic bins

I stepped farther into the room and looked around There wasn’t a picture frame or a scrap of paper anywhere Shit even looked like it had been dusted

“Whoa Did Trix get robbed?” Tommy asked

“No, you fuckin’ idiot,” Leo replied “She got…packed”

I walked forward into the kitchen—sa A few bins stacked on top of the kitchen table, but nothing else I opened cupboards and the fridge Nothing

Ithe closets and the bedrooms They were all the same

Plastic bins stacked neatly in each room The beds stripped The s and floors clean
