Fine's POV:

I picked up the cardboard box and made my way towards the exit door. I had to walk slowly and carefully, because of the immense weight of the box. As it was blocking my vision, I peeked from its side so as to see my way ahead. I kicked open the door and a few moments later, reached the large truck.

With some effort, I placed the box in my hand in the back of the truck, which was almost fully occupied with other cardboard boxes along with some furniture. One of those furniture items was Momo's piano, well not really Momo's, but the caretakers allowed us to take it with us, since they had no use for it whatsoever. In this era, hardly anyone here took an interest in playing a piano.

After I heard a voice, I directed my face towards it–

"Coming through!!" Momo's mature yet cute tone grabbed everyone's attention as they shifted out of her path.

She was carrying two boxes, due to which her face was hidden behind them. Her knees when I observed, were slightly bent, because of the pressure of the heavy boxes. She was clearly struggling, so I went to lend a hand to her. I took the upper box from her hands, while keeping my own hands as steady as possible. Momo quickly noticed my doing and spoke–

"Ah, it's you. Thank you, Fine!!" She thanked me, her knees were straight again, as I borrowed the weight.

"Geez, why'd you try to move two boxes at once in the first place?" I asked, adjusting the box in my arms.

"Hehe, I didn't think they would be of this much weight," She smiled awkwardly, "Well, you certainly seem to transport these boxes much more easily."

"Obviously, I'm a vampire, so my physical capabilities are higher than that of an average human's," I stated, then put the box inside the still truck.

"Ah yes, I forgot that vampires have superhuman strength," She wiped some sweat from her forehead, "Talking about that, did you take all the blood bags with you?" She questioned.

"Yeah, I have all the necessary supplies in my backpack," I replied in an affirmative way.

"That's good," She eyed at the helper who wore a cap with the name of his company, that is, 'Wellington Movers' name on it, when he arrived with a small table, "By the way, it was a useful decision to help the movers, it made our work less time-consuming."

I responded to her statement, "You're right."

Being tired after all this work, I leaned my head against the truck's body, as I began reminiscing about all the events that led us to this day.

A few months ago, Momo had made the resolve to purchase a new house for both of us, since the space here started to lack for us to live in comfortably. Additionally, she felt that we had been relying on the caretakers for way too long. And just a couple of days prior, she barged into the house saying that she successfully had finalized a deal with the builder for a new home. When I listened her sudden declaration, I was extremely happy yet surprised.

I always thought that it was a very lengthy process. First saving the money, looking for an appropriate location, choosing the house design, making the advance payment, and other steps. That's why, I had initially assumed it would at least take a year for us to shift into a new home. But, knowing Momo, she must have definitely worked day and night, and saved up a lot of money to make this huge announcement to me.

Because I trusted Momo's decision, I just knew that she must have chosen the perfect house, able to satisfy both of our likings. She later informed me the structure of the house, which was a 2BHK flat, in a twenty-storey building, on the fifteenth floor. We were too exhilarated to stop fantasizing how fun living in the new house would be.
