I woke up around six and got ready for another week of rotations. I stopped at Starbucks and drove to the hospital. I walked to the break room and put my stuff away. I went to the nurses' station and sat next to Julie.
"You never told me about Milwaukee," she says.
"It was fun. It felt good seeing the guys again."
"That's good. How are you guys doing anyway?"
"Good. The distance sucks but it's only for another month."
"Are you moving in with him when you go back?"
"Probably but we're not entirely sure yet."
"Have you talked about?"
"He asked if I was moving back in with my dad and I brought up moving in with him," I tell her.
"What did he say?"
"He was hesitant but seemed to like the idea of living together."
"Well, you have a few more weeks until you move."
"Right."
The day seems to drag on and I leave just after eight that evening. I stop at Panda Express for dinner and listen to the rest of the game while I drive home. I text Christian for a bit after the game before going to bed.

I woke up around nine and heard the front door shut. I threw on a Brewers hoodie and walked into the kitchen to see Adrian.
"How was the trip," I ask.
"Same old, same old."
I nod and start the coffee maker. He takes his stuff to his room and I pull my phone from my pocket as it vibrates. I see Christian FaceTiming and I answer it.
"Happy one month," he says.
"Happy one month, C."
"Do you have the box with you?"
"It's in my room. I'm just waiting for my coffee," I tell him.
"How were the rest of your rotations this week?"
"Alright. I'm just glad they're almost done."
"I can imagine."
I finish making my coffee and walk back to my room. I set my phone on the stand and grab the box from my closet. I sit on my bed and open the box.
