Location: San Francisco 7 months before Velia Players: Jude and @elghostrider
They had only unpacked the couch. All around the apartment--which wasn’t exactly large, as prices kept surging, year after year in San Francisco--their boxes were stacked from floor to ceiling, taped up and labeled in Sharpie. They had moved just in time; Jude started her new job the next morning, and, hanging on the fridge (which had been there when they arrived) was the handwritten list Jude had made of all the rodeos in the Bay Area and any other jobs in the field.
Now, as she sat on the couch, pinned to Cam’s side, she stared out over their new home and sighed in contentment. She had moved in with him back in Texas, but this was the first place was theirs together, that they’d chosen together. The engagement ring on her finger glittered as the sun streamed through the fog and in through the kitchen window.
Jude turned and climbed quickly into Cam’s lap, stroking his cheeks and staring down into his eyes, her smile growing by the second. “Does it feel like home?” Jude had been worried constantly, asking at least a million times on the driver over if he was sure, if he really wanted to do this. The last thing she wanted was for him to be unhappy.
