" Hey darlin, is this the last of it?" Jax slides a box in the back of the van. Hannah nods," I just want to do one more walk through." Matt follows her back into the house, with Happy watching his every move." I'm sorry about Dan. Do you have a new place yet ?" Hannah shakes her head, " No, but can you text me with some listings for two bedroom rentals if you have any? I'm staying with friends right now." Matt nods " Sure. And are you sure you don't want anything else? If not, it'll either be sold or go into the trash." Hannah looks around, " I may grab a few small things then I'll text you when I'm done. I can't stay here much longer, but I appreciate your patience." Matt seems satisfied with that, and getting nervous with Happy staring at him, he stammered," Uh, ok. I gotta go. Let me know when you leave," before taking off out the door. Hannah does one last walk through, scanning everything with her eyes, making sure she didn't leave anything behind. She didn't want the furniture, but she took the dishes, some household items, Gracie's and her belongings, and a bin that had some things of her mom's in it. Trying not to focus on the bad memories in this house, it also had some good times when Dan was being decent. But those were few and far between. Happy stands in the doorway, "Gotta get going, little girl. Clay called church." She just follows him, as they walk out the front door, locking it behind her, and walk towards the van. Before climbing in, two cars pull up and block the it in.

Jax and Happy stand still as Stahl gets out of the car." Moving day, huh?" No one answered her, so she turns to Hannah, " I'll need you to come with me, now. Have some questions. I'll drive you." Hannah looks at Jax, "Go ahead darlin, I'll get Lowen to get there as soon as she can."  Later in Unser's office, " Well, it seems as though my other informant has been M.I.A. So do you have any information for me ? " Stahl asks, sitting across the table from Hannah. Hannah just sits there, tight lipped. " The silent treatment, huh? Need I remind about the file I have on you. " Hannah smirks, " That won't work anymore. My secret is out, and I don't have a damn thing to tell you because I don't know shit. " Before Stahl can answer, Lowen barges in."If you are not arresting my client for anything, I suggest you let her leave." Stahl gets irritated," We were just having girl talk. " Lowen smirks, " We proved she didn't kill Dan, so unless you are charging her, we will get going." As they were walking out to Lowen's car with Bobby standing by his bike, she turns to Hannah, " I have some good news for you. Your mom's life insurance policy is now transferred to you, I'll have the paperwork situated for you to sign, but here is a check with the last Two months payments. Dan had it set up where he would get a check every month, and now it's yours. Are you staying in Charming, or thinking of moving to Florida like we talked about ?" Hannah shrugs, looking down at the check in her hand," I don't know what I want to do. But I do know that I need a nap. Can I set up a trust fund for Gracie? " Lowen nods and climbs into her car, " Yes, just call me when you are ready." Handing Hannah her helmet, Bobby is confused, " Are you really leaving us ?"

Gracie's birthday dinner and party that night at the Morrow's was great. She loved the attention from the guests, and especially the gifts. When they left, Chibs tucked her into bed as Hannah helped Gemma clean the up from the party. He walked out to the kitchen to say goodnight, and Gemma tries to keep playing match maker," Hey Chibs, can you help Hannah find a car when she is ready? Lowen gave her some money from her mom's life insurance today." Chibs jeered at Hannah," Wha's da point? Might as 'ell wait til ya go to Florida." Her jaw dropped, "How'd did you... ugh Bobby." Gemma is surprised. " Am I missing something?" Before Hannah can answer, Chibs smiles, "She didn' tell ya, ma? She's movie' ta Florida, and takin' the lil lassie away from us." Hannah stands toe to toe with him. " I didn't say anything because I don't know what i want to do. And you act like you are here every night, tucking Gracie into bed like you used to, smug son of a bitch." Chibs stands up even straighter puffing up his chest as she crosses her arms. " Chan eil mi airson gum fàg thu. I'm ann an gaol leat." Hannah's eyes narrow, but before she can say anything, Gemma stands between them." Ok, I think we all need a breather. Chibs, why don't you go outside and I'll come smoke with you before you leave?" Chibs shakes his head as he walks out the back door, "No mum, Imma go home."

Gemma turns back to Hannah," What's in Florida?" Hannah swallows, " I guess a new life since it seems like he doesn't want me around." She grabs another dish to dry and put away as Gemma sits down to smoke, and pouring herself a drink." You know he's in love with you, right? " Hannah frowns, " So that's how he shows it ? By ignoring me, then picking a fight, screaming in Scottish or Gaelic or whatever that was, and then leaving ? And What the hell did he say anyways? You know what, doesn't matter. It's probably something disgusting like he said at the cabin. And he's so upset over Gracie, he hasn't been around to tuck her in, and she always asks for him, and it seems like he has been a jerk since the cabin, and I..." Gemma knocks on the table getting her attention, "Baby, I told you he's in love with you. I think he feels like he let you down somehow, and instead of saying it, he pushes you away instead." Hannah looks down at the floor, sighing," Well he didn't. So what should I do? This is new to me, Gem." Gemma smiles softly, " Go tell him how you feel, all of it. But just don't leave until you atleast lay your cards on the table."
