Min opened her eyes in bed and let out a long sigh. She could feel Tee's sleeping body beside her, the rise and fall along with his soft snores felt comforting. Tee had his own place, but since Heart had stayed over at Kit's house a few days ago, she hadn't seen him, and being alone in this place was hard.
She hadn't told Heart, but she had been planning to move out.
When Tee had first learned of the news of the babies, they had agreed that it was time to move out of this old run-down apartment. It wasn't because he was worried about safety but because he wanted to be there for her and he didn't want her to be alone.
Heart was always either off working, at school, or with his friends, which was exactly what he should be off doing at twenty-two years old. Min was already in her thirties, and it was time to start making a home and living and loving in it. Now that Heart was grown and really didn't need her anymore.
'Not that he ever had.'
