“Yeah of course, I’ll try to have dinner made when you wake up,” she replies.
“I’m going to lay down, try to get a nap in before the game,” he said and Tess nodded. She had moved on from the bottles to wiping down the counter and he waited for her to be done before clearing his throat. He nodded to himself and slipped back out of the nursery and glanced at Tess who was still in the kitchen. He knew it would be okay whatever the outcome, he just hoped that it would continue to be him, Sorel andTess. He liked how he always got to spend time with his best friend and never had to eat dinner alone and how warm and happy she always was and he didn’t want to lose that, lose her.Īnthony took a shaky breath as he looked down at Sorel. It’s just that in all his thinking, he never realized how much he couldn’t imagine not having her. And once he made that realization, he knew he had to ask her to move in for real. The guest room was decorated the way some interior designer had when he bought the place, she didn’t have half her clothes, and barely any of her belongings. She was living there, taking care of his daughter and his apartment without really living there. It didn’t take him long to realize how unfair it really was. He got to come home from practice and games and roadies to her and Sorel, and he couldn’t imagine it any other way. She slept in his guest room, she cooked and cleaned, and she took care of his daughter. If he was being honest, Anthony hadn’t put much thought into asking Tess to move in with him because she was already living with him. The corner of Anthony’s lips twitched up and he nodded, “I like having you here.” Tess gave him a smile back before turning her attention to rising out the bottles and loading them into the dish washer.Īnthony let his gaze linger for a few moments before he slipped into the nursery and where he could watch his daughter sleep peacefully in her crib and he realized how much he couldn’t imagine not having Tess here with them. “Beau,” Tess called, making Anthony stop in his track and turn back to her. “Thank you.”Īnthony nodded and gave the back of the chair an awkward pat before stepping away and heading towards the nursery to check on Sorel, even if Tess had just done so. “I will think about it,” she replied with a smile. That I want you here.”Īnthony’s words echoed through her head and she took a soft breath to shake the thoughts before she turned to look at him. I just wanted you to know that you’re welcome here. So please take as much time as you want or need to think about. And Anthony’s apartment was leagues nicer than anything she would be able to afford.Īnthony rubbed the back of his neck, “It’s a big decision, I know. Living in New York… It wasn’t cheap, and even with working jobs in the summer and throughout college, she didn’t have nearly enough to live on her own, and considering the less than shaky work as a sub… even a roommate wouldn’t be enough to make it possible. She had been basically living here for two months and she had loved every second. “Um,” Tess whispered, turning slowly to put the used bottles in the sink. “So why don’t you just officially move in with me?” Really, there’s no downside,” he rambled off. You don’t have to live with your parents and you can live in the city in a nice apartment for free. “Why don’t you just move in? You’re here all the time, Ellie loves you. “I said,” he replied, resting his hands on the back of one of the chairs, careful to keep the island between them. “What did you just say?” She asked, her voice breathy.

She froze in the kitchen, her hands full of used bottles she had collected from the nursery as she slowly turned to face him. When Anthony first asked her in the last stages of March, Tess thought she was going crazy.
