– did. So we can go out shopping one day if you want. Or if you wanna go with your sister or something that’s fine too. This is our space, I want you to feel comfortable too. This isn’t just mine anymore. And once my sister is out of the guest room, her apartment will be ready for move in –

I don’t have a lot of decorative shit. I had some, pero I left it all when I moved. Figured I’d just buy new and then never –

“Why would it be weird for me?” I asked quietly, tilting my chin down to press a kiss to the top of her head. There was just enough light seeping into the room from outside now that I could see the pictures on the walls. My attention fixated on one across from the bed. It wasn’t one that I had –

I followed her and settled into the chair she pointed to. I was about to speak when her phone rang again. Stifling a chuckle at her annoyance, I slid my phone out of my pocket, attempting to be occupied by something other than her. "Dude sounds like a pain in the ass." I smirked, setting my phone --

Once I was sure he wasn't going to wake back up, I made my way back to the bed, crawling back in beside Nan, pulling --

— go somewhere?” I wasn’t sure what she’d want to do or what she’d feel up to doing, so I wanted her to know she had options. I wasn’t her ex and I wasn’t trying to keep her from anybody. I wanted her to know that she was safe with me no matter what.

I had been humming quietly to Manny as we lay in bed, Nan was so fast asleep that I didn’t think she’d notice. But once I heard her shift in bed, I knew she had woken up. Turning my head towards her, I smiled, shaking my head. “Nah, he’s good. He’s knocked out. Even got a little puddle of drool on—

The soft sound of Manny cooing in his bassinet had pulled me from my sleep. Normally, I slept like the dead, but with Nan and Manny staying with me now, I was hyper-aware of every sound around us. Even though I knew there was no way her ex could get to us. He was six feet under after all. But I'd --
