Caroline was in the middle of packing up her bedding–blankets, sheets, and pillows.

She had bought all of it herself. They were still in good condition, barely used. No reason to throw anything out.

Her phone buzzed from the nightstand. She glanced over and saw the name on the screen: Blake. She froze, then reached over and grabbed the phone without hesitation.

“There’s no need to trouble yourself. I’ll just call a ride in a bit,” she texted back quickly.

She didn’t mind accepting help now and then, but making someone skip out on work for her just didn’t sit right.

A few seconds later, another message popped up.

“I’m already downstairs. If you’re okay with it, just send me your apartment number. I’ll come up and help you carry your stuff.”

Caroline’s eyes widened. She darted out to the balcony and leaned over the railing. Sure enough, there he was standing just outside her building’s front door.

She couldn’t stop the smile that tugged at her lips. How could someone be this kind?

A warm rush hit her chest, and her eyes welled up. Ever since her mom passed away, no one had shown her this level of care. Not even this kind–simple, ordinary kindness between friends.

She blinked quickly and shook it off. There was no time for emotions.

“I don’t have much stuff. Just wait for me downstairs, okay?” she typed back.

Some of the others in the apartment still hadn’t left for work yet, and if Blake came upstairs, she knew the snide comments would start flying. She’d gotten used to being talked about. But Blake had come all this way just to help her–she wasn’t going to let those guys drag him into their nonsense too.

She hit send and rushed back into her room.

In the dining room, Liam was still eating breakfast. He looked up at her running around and muttered, “Jeez, what’s with all the back and forth? Why was she in such a rush?”

He had been out buying jackfruit last night, and didn’t know Caroline was moving out today.

Actually, the only people in the apartment who did know about it were Edwin and Wren.

Edwin scowled and shot Liam a look. “You’ve got a bunch of work piling up at the company. Quit yapping and finish your breakfast.”

Liam shut his mouth and focused on his food.

Breakfast didn’t last much longer. One by one, they headed out for work.

Edwin and Liam both worked at the Somerton Clothing Factory, so they left for work together.
