Rossi’s Cottage
Moving Day
“Is that the last of the boxes?” I ask from the kitchen.
“Yeah, Dad,” Mari answers, marching by on her way to her new room.
Lily comes in carrying another box.
“Lily, is the truck empty?”
“Almost,” she says in a mousy voice.
Lily has been quiet since we started packing up the house. Neither of my twins had much to say about moving into Sarah’s cottage. They spend more time here than they do at our old home anyway, but I can tell something is troubling Lily. She’s always soft spoken, thoughtful, and in general less opinionated than Mari, but lately, especially today, she’s more withdrawn.
