To Kick off a Whole House Cleaning Day
The middle of the office was stacked with boxes that would be carried out to vehicles after lunch. Blake had triple checked the closet, the reception area, and anywhere else he could think of for things that belonged to Elizabeth while the others had helped box up what was rightfully hers in the inner office. It'd turned out that six years had been enough time for there to be a lot of little things from the breakroom to their personal offices, and especially around Blake's desk, which had been emptied as well. He wasn't even holding the pretense of staying on at State.
"Is that all of it?" Jay asked, looking at the rest of them. "This is… This is it."
Matt could only nod, tears threatened to fall. "This is way harder than I expected it to be." He admitted.
"And how seriously ridiculous is it that she got called away one last time while we were in the middle of this." Kat added. "We couldn't even get to pack her up with her here? That's just wrong."
"We'll go for drinks, then." Jay decided. "Assuming she can go out now?" He turned to Blake, assuming he would be the most in the know.
"She doesn't declare until next week, so I think she gets a tiny window of no detail. I know Henry's driving her home today."
"Okay then, I'm declaring that the plan. Let's get this stuff downstairs and go home. We'll meet up tonight and celebrate this move out properly." Jay tried to grin, knowing they were all a mix of heartbroken and excited for what lay ahead.
"And then when we do the next move-in, we'll have a celebration in and get absolutely hammered." Matt joked. "Bowling party in the big house!"
