The ride to the house was quiet. She held the bear to herself, and he had her hand for almost the entire drive.

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.

Garett pulled one of the older computers he had on the shelves off and then went to sit on the couch. He had picked up one of the thumb drives and the reader that he could plug into the computer. He knew that he had to be careful with it and not erase what was on it. He wanted to make sure that everything was set up well in advance, so he didn’t make a mistake. This could be something or nothing though the fact they were hidden in a way that only someone in the family would know they were there, and in the bears, he knew that had to be something.

They were in shock at just the first image, but then Garett started to move throughout the entire drive. They saw everything they needed to know. He looked at her as she was in shock as well.

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.
