"You don't have to pack everything tonight," Timothy said from the doorway. "We can have it shipped later. Whatever you want to keep, whatever you want to leave....there's no rush."

"But I want to do this now. I want to...." She paused, searching for words. "I want to close this chapter properly. Not leave things unfinished."
