Moon turned her to face him. “You look like you’re ready to run for the door.”

She was desperately trying not to burst into tears. “I’m not any good at this type of thing.”

He frowned down at her. “What kind of thing?”

“Normal stuff, like moving.”

The comforting hug he gave her lessened the panic threatening to overwhelm her.

“I know it seems a lot, but with both of us working together, we’ll get it done. It doesn’t have to be done in one day, does it?”

“No, I suppose not.” She nodded against his chest.

“Are you regretting us moving in together?”

“No, moving always makes me nervous. I hate for things to be out of place.”

“Technically, nothing’s out of place if we haven’t taken them out of the boxes. It’s a brand-new house; you haven’t found a place for the things to go.”

“You’re right.” Taking a deep breath, she pulled herself out of his arms. “Okay, where should we start?”

The words were no sooner out of her mouth than she heard a knock on the front door. Opening her mouth to call out, “Come in!” she caught Moon’s glower.

“I’ll just get that.”

He wasn’t appeased. “If I catch you doing that again, there will be hell to pay.”

“Oh … I’m so scared.” Lighthearted, she went to answer the door.

Surprised to find Lana and Priss on the other side of the door, she started laughing when she saw what they were holding— a welcome doormat and a bottle of apple juice.

Lana walked inside with the juice while Priss laid the mat down before following her.

“I thought you had to work?”

“We lied.” Lana gave her a hug. “We thought we would help you get a good start, and you can do the rest when you figure out where you want things.”

Priss took a long look at the boxes then glanced toward her. “I forgot how much stuff we had in storage. I bet this is driving you nuts.”

“If you had arrived a few minutes earlier, you would have seen me whining on Moon’s shoulder,” she confessed.

“Lucky for Moon,”—Lana rolled up the sleeves of her sweater—“we’re here to save the day.”

Priss was less enthusiastic. “I should have scheduled appointments, for real.”

Lana wasn’t having it. “Most of this is your stuff. Larissa, have you picked out which room you want the baby in?”

Larissa led her sisters to the bedrooms, showing them the master bedroom first. She raised the blinds. “I thought this room would be Moon and my room. The room next to it would be the baby’s. The one at the end would be either yours or Priss’.” Leading them to the small room off the front door, she turned on the light inside. “And one of you could take this one. It has a private bathroom.”

Lana nodded at her then turned toward Priss. “Which one do you want?”

“I can take either. Which one do you want? The bedroom upstairs is bigger, but this one has a private bathroom.”

“Then, if you don’t mind, I’ll take this one. With my hours, it’ll be the quietest, and I won’t wake the baby up when I get ready for work. We can evaluate who gets the master bedroom if Moon and Larissa decide to move into his house.”

“That works for me,” Priss agreed.

Both sisters looked at her.

“Works for me, too.” Larissa nodded cheerfully.

“Good. Then let’s get to work. I have to be back at the hospital in a couple of hours.” Lana took command, which made Larissa ecstatic.

“Moon, your job is carrying the boxes to the rooms written on the boxes.”

Moon seemed as relieved as she was.

“Priss, I would just stack your boxes to the side. There’s no need opening them until we’re ready to move in, unless you need to get something out. I’ll do the same with mine.

“Larissa, you can empty your boxes, and when Priss and I get done, we can help. Moon, when you get to the boxes for the kitchen, you can start opening them. Just set them on the counters, and you and Larissa can decide together where things go. Any questions?”

They all said no.

“Then let’s get cracking.”

Two hours later, Moon and Larissa both appeared shellshocked at the amount of work they had been able to accomplish.

“I think you two are good to go now.” Lana looked extremely satisfied as she glanced around the empty living room. “When does the new furniture arrive?”

“Tomorrow. Moon said he took off half a day.”

“Good. Don’t forget not to lift anything heavy.”

“I won’t,” Larissa assured her sister. “Where’s Priss?”

“Here.” Walking into the room with an armful of clothes, she gave them a wry smile. “I couldn’t resist. I’m tired of wearing the same clothes.”

Moon went to the kitchen and came back with an empty box, which he handed to Priss. “Feel free to come and get anything you want.”

“I pretty much took what I wanted. I should donate the rest to the church’s store.” Putting the clothes she was carrying into the box, Priss looked toward Lana. “Are you ready?”
