laughed as Eva looked completely amused. It s your funeral.
You re such a bitch; I can t believe you wouldn t come save me. I ll remember that! she shouted
as she walked toward the apartment building in front of them.
Meagan smiled and then opened up the door to the truck and grabbed two very noisy crates from
the backseat. Hopefully we will be inside soon so you guys can get out of there, she said, peeking
in to look at her cats, who sounded like they were dying they really hated those damn things.
Within a few minutes, Eva was jogging back to the truck with a couple of keys dangling from her
fingers. Did the boogeyman come while I was gone?
Shut up. Which one s ours? she asked, handing Eva a litter box and a container of litter.
This way.
Meagan picked up the crates and followed Eva down the walkway in between the two buildings
that were in front of them. When they got to the back side of the buildings, it was like they were in a
completely different world. It was absolutely beautiful. It was set up like a courtyard, with a stone
fountain surrounded by a circular stone walkway placed in the center of the enormous grounds. The
lawn was beautiful, professionally landscaped to perfection. It was the middle of June, and flowers
were blooming everywhere, and there was a handful of surprisingly mature trees throughout. There
was a huge pool at the far side of the courtyard, complete with a diving board and a twirly slide and
yes, the twirly slide got her the most excited. When she looked at the backs of the buildings, there
were small patios and decks that faced the courtyard.
This is amazing, Eva.
No shit, she murmured, slightly surprised as well. This is even better than the website led on.
Now I m dying to see the inside. We should be this one right over here. She walked to the building
to the right of the fountain, stuck her key into the patio door of apartment 2C, and pushed it open.
Meagan was more than pleasantly surprised when she walked in. Actually, that was putting it
mildly. Going off the opinion she had from looking at the outside of the building, she was completely
prepared for molded carpet, broken cabinets, crusty bathrooms, and maybe even one of those chalk
outlines of a dead body on the kitchen floor.
Instead, she saw beautiful hardwood floors okay, so they were probably laminate floors, but they
sure as hell were better than nasty carpet stainless-steel appliances, beautiful mocha-colored
cabinets, and the bathrooms there were three! This place made her old apartment look like a college
dorm room, which actually wasn t too far off from the truth, to be honest. This apartment was clean
and spacious with a huge eat-in kitchen and a separate dining room. The bedrooms were large with
walk-in closets and each one had their own bathroom.
So what do you think? Eva asked, looking around the large, open living room.
I m thinking this is a hell of a lot better than my old apartment.
We re splitting the rent, roomie. You can afford a big-girl apartment now.
Point taken. In that case, I m glad I left all the planning to you. This is perfect.
Eva headed toward the front door, which Meagan assumed led to the outside of the apartment
building. I m not gonna say, I told you so . . . well, yep . . . I am . . . I told you so . I m gonna go
grab a couple boxes.
Meagan rolled her eyes. Okay, I will be out to help in a minute. I m going to let Harry and
Weasley out and get their litter box set up real quick.
Okay, Eva said before shutting the door behind her.
Meagan opened up the crate. You would have thought they got bit in the ass by the way they bolted
out. Meagan laughed. Not too bad, huh?
Meagan stepped back and looked around her new home. Sure, there was nothing filling it yet, and
there probably wouldn t be anything for another couple of weeks until the movers got there, but oddly
enough it already felt like a place she could settle in to. She still had slight reservations about packing
up her entire life and moving, all within a matter of weeks, but just being here eased those up a little
bit. Moving without any plan was probably the most irresponsible thing she had ever done, but if she
wanted to change, if she wanted to find her forever, why not get a fresh start? She swept her eyes
around the empty apartment again. This was it her fresh start.
Hey, Meggy, grab the door for me, will ya? she heard Eva holler from the living room as she
walked out of the laundry room.
Meagan hurried to Eva, who had her hands full of boxes stacked one on top of the other. That little
