“It sounds like you’re preparing to set up camp there.”

I paused as I thought on her statement. In a way, I was. I was slowly settling into a place I’d considered home for years. I was beginning to dig through my grandmother’s room, and with her articles of clothing came memories of us sitting on the porch and talking. I wanted to put up another porch swing like we had before I’d broken it as a kid. And put a couple of rocking chairs on the porch so I could go out there with coffee and watch the nighttime set over the forest.

“I guess it does, huh?” I asked.

“I’ll support you in whatever you decide,” Sarah said. “As long as you have a room for me to come visit. Because I can’t live too much longer without my Amanda.”

“You’ll always be welcome here,” I said. “My grandmother would’ve loved you.”

I felt tears rising in my eyes as I thought about my grandmother meeting my best friend.

“Anyway,” I said. “I should get cleaned up. The contractor will be here in a couple of hours, and I should at least put on a bra.”

“Might be a good idea,” Sarah said, giggling. “Call me right after.”

“Will do,” I said. “Talk to you soon.”
