I Went to Surprise My Husband at Work – But His Colleague Asked Me with Tears in His Eyes, ‘He Hasn’t Told You Anything, Has He?’
“They’ll wait until summer.”

Over the next three weeks, I finished two major events and mapped out how to rebuild my business.
Then one Saturday morning, I found Ben at the table with Olive.
“I’ve decided.”
He stood.
“We can do it after the school year. I’ll be as ready as I can, Ben.”
Olive looked between us.
“I’ll be as ready as I can, Ben.”
“We’re moving?”
I sat beside her.
“We’re considering a new place because Dad’s job can give us more time together. But your school year comes first, and we’re going to plan it as a family.”
She thought about that.
“Can I still play soccer at the new school?”
“We’re moving?”
“Yes.”
“Can my room be green?”
Ben glanced at me.
“That’s between you and the paint aisle, honey.”
She grinned and went back to watch cartoons.
Ben waited until she left the room.
