It was easier somehow. Knowing that she wouldn’t see Jim for a while was hard, but because it was her choice…somehow that made it easier.

Her tiny new studio was sparse, but clean.

Angela had been surprisingly helpful in finding the space. Apparently, a former member of her church had gotten into real estate after moving to the area, and she’d made arrangements for Pam almost a week earlier.

While it was mildly overbearing for her to pick out Pam’s new residence (without actually consulting her about it), Pam couldn’t help but feel cared for.

It made the transition easier.
