Unwanted Advice

Chapter 61

Janet

Now I had made up my mind to move in with Kevin, I couldn’t wait to tell him. But it won’t be over the phone. I wanted it to be face to face, preferably over lunch or dinner.

I was awake before dawn but lay dreaming of what life with him would be like. Here Fran looked after me, with Kevin, would I have to do chores, or would he? Or would the chores be shared? I grimaced. Kevin didn’t look to me like he could do even the basic chores. He once told me a cleaning agency sent an employee over every week to clean his place, and he ate out most of the time.

Would we still keep that arrangement if we lived together?

The thought of suddenly being domesticated excited and scared me.

Another thing that scared me was telling my family I was moving out. Dad would be sad, but he won’t stop me if he knew it was something I really wanted to do. Lois would be happy to see me go, but I worried how Anna would react. I didn’t want to rub my happy relationship in her face.
