Chapter 68

• Putting the empty suitcase beside the door, Kelsey turned around and surveyed her efforts. It looked like her room again. When she’d walked in and seen it so barren, it had struck her harder than she thought. Beth had said she was thinking of redoing it, but Kelsey didn’t think that meant all her stuff would be boxed up. Having gone through the boxes and pulling out a few things made her feel better.
• Happy, she turned and headed down the stairs. It was almost five and her stomach was reminding her that she hadn’t eaten anything but a bag of chips when she was driving. Biting her lip, she wondered if Gage would be home for dinner. She hadn’t thought to ask if he had plans or not.
• Opening the fridge while she bit down on the unexpected jealousy that flooded her at the thought of Gage going out on her first night home, she sighed and shut the door, leaning back against it. The feelings she had convinced herself were leftovers from a teen crush were not gone. If anything, they were worse.
