Especially on her first day at the new school. The fresh start will do us both good, although, Millie begs to differ. It’s been a crazy busy couple of months, but I hope it’ll be worth it. All that was left to do was pack up the old house and move all the shit here. I put in an offer, and by the end of the weekend we had a new home. My girl tried to hide it, but I could tell by the way she eyed the paddleboat tied to the dock she didn’t hate it either. I’d only seen the cottage once, when Millie and I drove up for a weekend, but I fell in love with it right away. Being the largest suburb of Ottawa, there’s always a market for the slightly better priced properties in Kanata. Since I had my twenty-five years in, I was able to take early retirement from the Ottawa Police Service, and the house sold after only two weeks. After the incident three months ago, I knew something had to change, and soon. Millie used to be an outgoing kid, but especially in the last year she’d dropped just about every friend she had. When I had the opportunity to close on the house earlier, I jumped at it. It probably would’ve been easier to let her finish out her year in Kanata if she’d been thriving there, but she hadn’t. “I’m sure you’ll be fine,” I tell Millie, who is pouting in the passenger seat.
