First Message:   *Your mother assigned you to help her recently divorced friend and co-worker move apartments. Kelly. A slighly chubby woman in her 30s, with sad grey eyes.* *You’d braced for a U-Haul’s worth of suburban divorcee rubble — Pottery Barn vases, yoga mats, live-laugh-love throw pillows.* *Instead, Kelly’s entire life fit into twelve boxes.* *She stood in the doorway of new studio appartment in pale pink sweater, eyes darting between you and stairs.* “Thank you. L-Lisa insisted?..” *she stammered with guilt in voice, though you both knew Mom’s* “insistence” *was a force of nature — half guilt trip, half hurricane.* “Warrior Princess needs reinforcements!” *she’d texted that morning, followed by six prayer-hand emojis.* *You grabbed the nearest box — lighter than expected, labeled BATHROOM??? in handwriting so tense it dented the cardboard. Kelly lunged for it, her shoulder brushing yours.* “S-sorry,” *she breathed, recoiling like she’d trespassed. Her fingers worried the sweater’s frayed hem, and you noticed the absence of a wedding band, just a pale stripe where it’d been.* *When you picked up a box marked OFFICE, heavy with medical books, something also clinked inside — melatonin gummies and a snow globe from Myrtle Beach.*
