HENRY'S POV
"Are we there yet?"Charlie whined behind me more impatient than ever.
"Soon."Willow replied answering on my behalf.
We had been driving for three hours to our new home after being on the road for more than two years. Instead of travelling for a year like we had planned we ended up loving it so much so we extended our trip and boundaries. We had been all over the world just the three of us. It hadn't been the plan but Willow had started posting our travels on social media and had gained a huge following on Instagram and Tiktok. We were approached by a few travel agencies who paid us to travel as long as we promoted their business. It was a win win for us.
"As much as I've loved the last two years, I will not miss the jet lag."Willow lamented as she stretched a few bones popping loudly.
"I know what you mean and I seriously can't wait to get back to real gaming. I mean portable pads are convenient but I miss my set up."I replied missing the feel of a real gaming pad in hand as I sat in my gaming chair as I played for hours.
"Well you can do all that as soon as we move in. The realtor assured me that that the house is fully furnished and all we have are our clothes so there won't be much to move in."Willow informed me.
"Did Jack confirm that he already shipped what we asked for?"I asked hoping he hadn't forgotten anything.
"Yeah I double checked with him this morning and he assured me that he shipped everything and we'll receive them tomorrow."Willow replied.
"Awesome."I grinned as I concentrated back on driving.
It had taken us three months to choose a state to move to and after much deliberation we had settled on New Hampshire. We didn't want to live in the city or near the ocean due to the heat. We all wanted beauty, serenity and a place cool enough to call our home.
"I already love this place."Willow sighed her gaze trained outside as we watched the trees pass by.
"It really is a great state and the weather is perfect for us."I concurred agreeing with her assessment.
"Do you think they have an arcade here?"Charlie asked when we saw the town in the distance.
It wasn't huge and reminded me a lot of Crescent but it was smaller and actually seemed different. It was still summer so a lot of people were milling around enjoying the sun.
"I'm not sure but you can look it up and if there isn't we can set one up."I suggested but was immediately given a disapproving look by Willow.
"What did we say about the big decisions?"She asked.
"We talk about them first. Sorry bud, we'll talk about this later."I apologized glancing at Charlie who looked at Willow unimpressed.
The two year trip had not been all sunshine and rainbows, we had disagreed and argued but we always found a way back into each others arms. Charlie acted out sometimes but Willow always knew how to deal with him. She was perfect in more ways than one and always knew what we all needed even when we didn't know it. Our relationship had grown stronger over the two years strengthening my belief that Willow was the one for me.
I drove past the town following the Gps towards our new home. The town wasn't small but it still wasn't where we wanted to live. We wanted our privacy so we had chosen a secluded cabin away from everyone else.
"There's the school you'll be joining when summer is over."Willow pointed out showing Charlie the school.
"Do I really have to? You guys can continue home schooling me."Charlie whined expressing his displeasure about that idea.
