DAVID: Okay, thanks. I’ll plan on going there in the very near future.

PAIGE: Go for it. And I meant it when I said you could take everything.

She texted the storage facility address to him, along with the code to her unit. Then, for good measure, she sent a gif of a screaming baby.

Chapter 50

A week later, David rented another U-Haul truck and enlisted the reluctant help of Evan, who had worked until 3 a.m.

“I don’t know why I’m doing this,” he muttered, as he watched David punch in the code to open the door to the storage unit. “You’re not even that good of a friend.”

David let the insult skip right off him like a flat rock on water.

Evan wasn’t through, though. “Jesus, didn’t I just help you move?”

“That was different.”

“Not really. Moving shit is moving shit.”

“Quit your fucking whining. I bought you coffee, didn’t I?”

“Let it be known your generosity knows no bounds.”

“It was a large coffee,” David pointed out, just to aggravate Evan some more.

“Fuck you and your large coffee.”

Once the door was open, Evan looked at the 8x10 room that was literally packed floor to ceiling with furniture. “So what are we taking?”

“All of it.”

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Evan sputtered, only to groan loudly and grab his head with his hands. “Of course you’re not fucking kidding. You’re such an asshole.”

“How am I an asshole?”

“You told me we were moving ‘some things’, not that we were moving a ‘shit ton of things’.”

David shrugged. “In my defense, I didn’t know how much was in here. There does seem to be a lot, though.”

“How did you not know? Isn’t this your stuff?”

“Yes and no. It was my stuff.”

“Who’s is it now?”

“My ex-wife’s.”

“Your ex-wife’s? And you’re taking it all?”

“Yes.”

“Does she know this?”

David laughed. “She’s the one who gave me the lock combination and told me to help myself. Now, let’s get busy. We’ve got a shit ton of things to move.”

“Seriously. You’re such an asshole.”

“For God’s sake, if you quit whining, I’ll buy you dinner.”
