Packing what she could take on the plane, Ele also got to work beginning to clean her apartment, changing into sweats and a tank top for the job. She had lived in the space for three years, so there was a lot to go over, but she was happy for the distraction. She knew that she would have to get out of the apartment the next day to go to the manager's office, as well as the post-office and bank to transfer her information to Michigan, so cleaning helped her keep herself occupied while her TV made noise in the background.

That night as Ele crawled into bed, she sighed and laid on her back, staring at the ceiling. Cleaning had wiped her out, but her mind was still racing. Picking up her phone, she dialed Tyler, hoping he would pick up.
