Olive looked at both of us.
— Are we moving?
I sat beside her.
— We’re considering a new place because Dad’s job could give us more time together. But first you need to finish the school year, and we’re going to plan everything as a family.
She thought for a moment.
— Will I be able to play soccer at my new school?
— Yes.
— And can my room be green?
Ben looked at me.
— That’s something you’ll have to discuss with the paint department, sweetheart.
She smiled and went back to watching her cartoon.
Ben waited until she left the room.
— Are you sure, Chels?
— Yes. Because now it’s my decision too.
He nodded.
— Then we’ll do it together.
A few months later, I was sitting in the kitchen of our new home, replying to an email, when Ben came home before sunset.
