The Dream Walker
“She loved Peggy, but she really needed some time alone.
Stretching out, her muscles hurt from all the packing she had done, but she was almost finished. Her apartment had come furnished, so there was no need for a truck to move furniture, and she hoped that everything would fit into her Kia tomorrow. It would simply have to.
She had kept her word and called Nico every hour on the hour. If she was honest with herself, she actually looked forward to hearing his voice. He had shown up late... in the afternoon with a couple of sandwiches, and they had eaten on the couch among the mess she had made while divvying up her stuff into piles of “Keep,” “Don’t Keep,” and “If I have room, I’ll take it.” The chatter had been light and friendly as they discussed her belongings strewn all over her apartment, and he’d only been able to stay for a few minutes. It was a total dine-and-dash.
Just as she shut her eyes, her phone rang.MoreLess
