I grabbed the boxes and tape from the back of my truck

Ginger met me at the door, and took a few of them from the stack I carried “Hoas Shawn?”

“Good Your parents offered to come help if we needed them”

“They are helping This would take er if we had to chase him around”

“True So where do you want to start?”

“Uh…I’ll start in the kitchen since I need to figure out what I want to take Can you take your boxes up to my room?”

I nodded and headed off in that direction Whatever was on her mind, she seemed to have put it behind her I knew better than to push, but her attitude made me worry she wasn’t as ready for this step as she’d said I just had to hope that not questioning her wouldn’t come back to bite me in the ass later

I leaned the boxes up against her dresser, trying to figure out where to start first I walked into her closet to start getting down the things on her shelf The top shoe box wobbled then fell to the floor Off came the top and envelopes spilled out I sat the other boxes down then started picking up the envelopes Each one was sealed and had names on them One for her parents, Macy, Shawn, and me

Did I want to read her goodbye? As I ripped it open, I knew the ansas yes Whether it was soenuine need to know, I couldn't be sure
