“What is this about?” Sara asked with a laugh in her voice.
“Just making a point.” He said as he moved up the stairs. He was taking her to where she belonged more than ever before. He wanted her to relax and then sleep for the rest of the night. He knew that she had a rough time before.
Everything felt better with knowing that she felt that way for Garett for the rest of the day. Though he wasn’t a good cook, he made breakfast and hoped it was okay for her to at least start their day. He made a point to learn how to cook something better for her. Almost every thought he was having had her at the center of it. He had to catch himself a few times at stopping himself from asking her what he could do to make things better in the house. Garett knew that when he got 09p9i8o/”hit, it was going to be bad. He knew from dealing with his own mother for so l
“She is talking to some people we knew in high school.” Cassy said as she looked at the two people. “what she didn’t know is they actually are informants for the police already.”“So the police know?” Garett asked.
“I will let that one slide for now.” She said as she looked at him.“Good.” He said as he continued to drive. “I don’t want to start a fight right now, but just think about that one for a minute. If you want to stay, you will want to change some things around, and I am fine with that.”
Piece by piece, they looked through everything in the unit. Though they were taking things slowly and he waited for the reactions that she would have. He took things slow and didn’t push her. Something affected her more than others. However, everything had a place in her memories until they found a file cabinet.She stared at it. She didn’t know how to
The ride to the house was quiet. She held the bear to herself, and he had her hand for almost the entire drive. He didn’t want to overload her, but he knew that she needed something to help ground her as she dealt with the things swirling around in her head. He hoped that maybe she would get a few of the answers that she needed, and she would begin the hard process of healing.
Sara watched and waited. She knew that Garrett had to know she was there. When the three fake police officers all went to pull their guns, she saw the tip on one of them. He wasn’t even smart enough to remove the orange tip to show it was a bb gun. She smiled as she aimed the shotgun away from them, and she fired without hesitation.Garett looked back, and he
Garett worked at removing all the things from the truck and bringing them into the house, whereas she helped, but he wouldn’t allow her to carry anything heavy or he deemed too much for her. She wasn’t used to someone trying to look out for her as she helped by stacking the things in the corner as she didn’t want to have the stuff take over his house.
“I wasn’t planning on it.” Sara said as she looked at him, “Just clarifying for my own mind that you guys aren’t mad. I said that.”“No, honey. I’ll bet the others were more impressed that you did finally break and go after her than they would be upset you said that.” Garrett laughed as he pulled into the store&
Garett was dressed in one of his better suits as he waited by the door for Sara to come downstairs. It had been a year almost since she had moved in and then stayed and made the house a home for the both of them. Garett looked down by his feet to the car seat that held their son Franklin who was now barely a month old. Though he really didn’t want to take his new infant son to the courthouse, it was something they both needed to be there for when they read the verdict on Joyce Holt.
Garett walked into the offices a new man. The ring seemed to have life in it, and he knew he had a lot to live up to. His sister was the first to see it. “You got married and didn’t tell us?” She asked, surprised.“No,” Garett said. “Though I would tell you when we do get married. Sara gave me her father's ring from her old house
The two stood in front of her old house. The past few hours had been hectic as she signed at least nine hundred things at the office of the other lawyer. Garett read over each thing and then nodded to her, and she signed. By the end, she didn’t care what she was signing. Everything was going to be done very quickly, and within a week, it would all be finalized.
The night was not as long as he hoped as the daylight spread through the bedroom, and he watched her begin to wake up and stretch. The soft smile that had been on her face as she slept, knowing that she and he both felt the same about each other and that everything they had hoped for was going to happen someday as long as they were together and worked to keep themselves that way. He knew they were finally on the same page of the book.
Garett stood there waiting, looking at her. The house went silent until the dogs started barking at something in the back yard though he knew it was an animal and not people. His dogs had very distinct barks for when they saw people though it made her look toward the back yard.“Don’t worry. It’s nothing but some animal walking in the field.&rdquo
Sara smiled to herself as she looked through her mother's things and then her sisters. She could remember without the pain that came with the memories. Sometimes they had worn the items. She was happy to know where they were. She thought it was funny that in ten years, she hadn’t thought where certain things were after she had settled into Joyce’s house. It was odd in a way. She had never questioned anything that the older woman had said as she spouted things that sounded like they could be the truth to a fifteen-year-old.
Garett pulled out his computer again and looked up the filing he had done a few days ago with the courthouse and saw that it had been unsealed. He began reading the document and saw that it was very straightforward as he expected it to be. This was almost the standard of estate paperwork except for the amount of money it was handling. That was almost too much to grasp.
Garett went over some of the briefings he had to close out for the week though he had time off. He had called into his boss, the lawyer who was a senior partner, and explained the situation and what he hoped to accomplish for the next week or so. Though it wasn’t an easy conversation to have, he knew that he wanted to get it over with and have the time ready to do whatever needed to be done.
Sara woke up in the middle of the night with tears in her eyes. Though she didn’t know why she was so close to tears. She could only remember being in the house. It was like walking around a museum in her mind. Everything was right where it was supposed to be, but no one was there. There was no other disturbance there. Though it was painful, she thought it was so lonely.
