Chapter 6

Noah and his guys showed up at noon with a truck. Took them about ninety minutes to load everything. Professional, careful, no damage. I'd already rented a storage unit near Martin's place, paid for one month up front.While they were loading, I found myself just standing in the bedroom doorway. The room looked bigger without her stuff—emptier. I felt this weird mix of relief and, I don't know, not sadness exactly, more like closing a file you forgot to save. All that time, just gone.By 2:30 p.m., the movers were done. I drove to the storage facility, met them there, and helped unload. Took photos of everything in the unit, then sent Martin the address and gate code. Texted him: "Everything's here. One month paid. After that, it's between you and her."His response: "You're a better man than she deserves. I'm sorry."At 4:00 p.m., the locksmith arrived. Changed the front door, back door, and the deadbolts. New keys, all of them. I collected every key I'd ever given Ashley—there were four copies scattered around—and put them in an envelope.By 6:00 p.m., I was sitting in my house eating leftover pizza, looking at rooms that suddenly had empty spots where her things used to be. The bathroom counter was bare; the closet had space. It felt surreal.Around 9:00 p.m., I heard a car door slam outside, then aggressive knocking.Ashley's voice: "Andy, open the door! Why is my key not working?"I walked to the door, but didn't open it. Spoke through it: "Your stuff is at the storage unit near Martin's place. He has the code.""You can't just lock me out! I live here!"
