put it all from her mind and concentrate on her job, her new home, and the new relationship that might be able to physically get off the ground now that they were residents in the same place.

Being on opposite ends of the island wasn’t the end of the world. About thirty minutes, it ended up being. Her workplace right in the middle. There were lots of places to meet for dinner without the other driving too far at night. She wasn’t concerned in the least, but Seth had something more important to get home to.

But the good news was...after she was done moving everything in today, he and Adele were coming with a housewarming gift tomorrow. She thought that was super sweet and offered to cook them dinner which he gladly jumped on. She’d even told Seth to tell Adele, she’d teach her to braid her doll’s hair.

“Ready to put us to work?” Hudson and Carson said when she pulled in front of her new rental home. She hadn’t expected them to be there today, nor to say that the minute she stepped out of her car.

“You guys don’t have to work at the hospital?” she asked.

“I’m on call,” Carson said. “But might not be needed. Until then, I can help.”

“I’m off,” Hudson said. “If he goes in, you can just bring me home later.”

She could always rely on her family and that was part of the reason she didn’t have any problems with Seth putting his first.

“Thanks, guys. The movers will bring everything into the house and put stuff together.”

The moving truck was backing into the driveway, so she went to the front door and opened it up.

“You can’t have that much,” Hudson said. “Your condo was only one bedroom.”

“That’s why this is a small truck,” she said. “Amanda said there is a bed in Kayla’s old room that Kayla left behind and had no need for. I told them they could leave it for now as a guest bed upstairs. But everything else is moving in on the first floor. I probably won’t even go upstairs.”

“It’s a big place,” Carson said, following behind her. “Nice though. Lots of charm.”

“Drew keeps his places up to date,” she said. “But in this case, Amanda and her roommates took really good care of it. I like the colors and will keep them.”

The front living room was a nice light taupe color, the dining room a pretty blue. She didn’t have a dining room table so she’d probably set her office up in there so she did have first floor living.

“Lots of space down here,” Hudson said. “It’s bigger than your condo was on this floor alone.”

“It is. I told Drew I’d take it without looking at it, but when I came over two weeks ago, I stopped in to look it all over while they were moving everything out and was stunned by the size. I’m actually thrilled the master is on the first floor so it didn’t seem so daunting to have all this space.”

“It’s a good location,” Carson said. “Only about five minutes from the docks.”

“True, but I don’t have a need to go back on the ferry anytime soon. I’m here to stay. Hopefully not too long in this house, but it’s nice to know I’ve got it.”

“Hey,” Hudson said, coming over and rubbing a hand on her arm. “This mess will get straightened out. We know you wanted your own place, but this is a pretty sweet house to live in and it’s all your own right now. Though you could get roommates if you needed to.”

Her brother was grinning at her. “Not on your life. Money isn’t an issue and Hailey is clearing up that debt. The issue is getting a loan and how long it will take for that to get cleared up.” She held her hand up. “Don’t say it, I know Mom and Dad would buy me a place or put it in their name if I wanted it and I could pay them or transfer it over when things cleared up. I don’t have it as bad as others would, but they are doing enough as it is.”

“I know,” Carson said. “It’s hard in your thirties to need your parents to do things for you.”

“Exactly. I’m paying my bills just fine. I’ve got a lot of breathing room, but it’s a little scary to know all my money is tied up and being held.”

Hailey had told her she didn’t need to do that. That many wouldn’t, but it was the safe thing to do until they could get all the debt swept out to sea and know that there weren’t any more cards out there incurring debt.

At the moment, until this was all squared away, she didn’t want to risk that someone could access those funds and until that debt was cleared she wasn’t taking any chances. Now, she wasn’t allowing anyone else to have the ability to go in and take her money. At this point it was safe.

“I’m sure it is scary,” Carson said.

“Hailey has done everything that needs to be done. Police reports have been filed. ID theft complaint filed with the FTC. My social security number has been locked and I’ve got a security company monitoring all my credit activity. To me, it’s best I’m not doing anything either so there is no confusion on what is legit and what isn’t.”

“You’re right,” Carson said. “It’s a nuisance, but you’re better to do it this way.”

“That’s the perfect word for it,” she said.

“Where do you want us to start moving things first?” she heard from one of the movers that made his way into the kitchen. They’d been in the truck talking when she came in with her brothers.

“Why don’t you move the bedroom furniture in first and anything for that room, then make your way to through the kitchen and living room. My desk and anything listed office will go in the dining room.”

He nodded his head and
