A couple of hours later, we’re walking back to my place, with Max carrying Sammie who pooped out about halfway through the parade, napping in my lap.

“I’m going to head home and get cleaned up,” Max whispers, following me inside and setting Sammie down on the couch.

She rubs at her eyes, rolling around a little bit, but unable to get comfortable again, she wakes up, a bit of a grumpy face on her.

“Mommy,” she says, her voice groggy and hoarse. “I still want to go to the fireworks. Don’t forget.”

“I didn’t forget. Max is going to go home and shower so he can get rid of his sticky hair and then we’ll go watch the fireworks.”

Sammie lays back down, her eyes still a little heavy and I push back her hair, bending down to kiss her forehead. She’s been having so much fun here that it feels like a vacation, and I have to agree with her. Back in Florida, we barely left our condo since I didn’t have a job and she wasn’t going to school or daycare. If we did go out, it was to the beach, everything else was too far to walk to.

Being here in Tahoe has been a dream come true. I haven’t needed a car and with the discounted childcare and low rent, we have more than enough money to survive on. Even better, the library is close and we spend a lot of time there when I’m not working.

“I’ll be back to pick you both up. We have to drive over to my parents’ house,” he tells me as we walk toward the front door. “I picked up a booster seat for Sammie since I figured you didn’t have one.”

“Max, you didn’t have to do that, but you’re right, I don’t have one.” I’m not sure why, but I’m suddenly overcome with a sense of guilt at Max buying a booster seat for Sammie. It’s something I should have, but I don’t. I don’t even have a car, and it’s things like this that make me realize that I wasn’t fully prepared when we left Florida. I’m not sure how I could have been though.

“I know that, and get that look off your face,” Max says, smiling as he lifts my chin to look at him. “I know what you’re thinking, Harper.”

“You do?”

“I’ve gotten pretty good at reading you, and no you should not feel bad that you don’t have a booster seat for Sammie. You don’t even have a car.”

“Fine,” I reply, blowing off the fact that he is totally right. It’s crazy that we’ve only been together for a few weeks, but it feels like much longer.

I push up on my toes, kissing him with a smile on my face. “We’ll see you in a bit.”
