"Jewel!"
Jewel heard his voice over the music as she yelled in response.
"In the bedroom!"
She stared at the mess that was their old bedroom. Boxes splayed across the floor, clothes littered on the floor and on the bed.
Old pictures and hangers were lying all over and she felt as if it depicted how she felt on the inside. A jumbled mess of confusion.

Carlos nodded and Jewel knew he understood what she meant. This was a task they'd have to work on tandem to do.
