Time skip cause I said so
It's been 9 days since I last saw Jimmy, I'd gotten a job at a small flower shop called Brooklyn blooms. I'd been house hunting for a while now and I finally found one.
It was a small brick cottage type house with a big beautiful front yard. It needed some remodeling on the inside but I was happy to do it. I'd not met my neighbors yet but I knew I would in time.
Sitting in my new beautiful home, with a job I loved, free from everyone in my old life I was starting to feel happy again. Really truly happy. After doing some work around the house, washing the curtains and sheets, mopping, dusting, and filling the pantry and fridge with some groceries I went up the stairs to take a shower.
I felt the warm water running down my body, as if to wash everything away so I could start over.
Stepping out of the shower and drying myself off I wrapped my hair up in a towel while I applied moisturizer all over. I got dressed in a simple turtle neck and pair of jeans before removing the towel to let my hair air dry.
The bruise on my cheek was nearly gone, it had faded to a light green and yellow and the cut was barley a scab. I decided to work on my garden a bit.
I loved plants, that's a big reason as to why I chose a flower shop to work at. Gardening had always been a hobby of mine and trying to grow flowers in sand was more complex then you'd think.
I slipped some simple shoes on and headed outside, weeding and planting a few flowers I'd bought I wiped the sweat from my forehead and singing to myself.
I had this feeling of being watched, but after looking around and seeing no one I brushed the thought away. Im just being paranoid. I returned to my gardening before finally heading in for the night. Changing out of my dirt covered clothes, Washing up and preparing myself an easy dinner, I poured myself some wine and began watching television.
I was happy. Truly happy. I'd not felt this level of relaxation and safety since I started dating Jimmy.
I felt tears spring to my eyes, I knew it was stupid but I just couldn't help it. I never thought I would get out alive and now here I am, on the other side of America, finally free from the name kovac.

After finishing practice for the day, I walked into the comfort of my house. Dully noting the fact that there was a car in my neighbors driveway.
Someone must have moved in. Most likely another senior couple, that was all that lived in my neighborhood really.
I poured myself a glass of wine and kicked my boots off while turning on the tv. I sat on the couch watching some mindless show and sipping my wine. I nearly dozed off before hearing a voice. A woman's voice, soft and soothing.
I walked to my window pulling back the blinds to see a pale, red headed woman, crouched in the dirt of her garden singing to herself. Her ginger waves fell around her shoulders over her black turtleneck. Her pale skin looked almost translucent under the sun and I felt mesmerized by her.
Almost as if she could read my mind she glanced up from her plants and turned her head side to side. Then I saw her smile to herself and shake her head. Her smile made my heart stutter and I felt like a little boy crushing on his classmate.
She was the most stunning woman hed ever seen, and he knew he needed to talk to her. He just needed a plan.
I paced around my apartment racking my brain for any kind of idea, i needed to talk to her but i didn't want to just....talk to her?
Maybe I could just introduce myself. It was forward but I mean, it's not uncommon for neighbors to greet newer members of the neighborhood, right?
Infact, it was expected. It was good manners. I decided I would just bring a simple gift and grow a pair and talk to her.
But...... tomorrow.
