I really had to hand it to Elio. When he committed to something, he really committed. It had only been a day since we decided to move in together, but the pure efficiency and confidence he had meant we were already moving in before I could even blink about it. The movers came in a single day, and Elio took the day off to help me and Mom unpack our stuff.
Elio already had mostly everything that we still wanted moved out of the old houses and taken to our penthouse or Mom’s apartment below us. Mom and I decided to donate or throw away a lot of stuff we didn’t need anymore.
The movers were incredibly efficient too, unloading boxes and furniture from the trucks and carrying them to the penthouse no matter how heavy they seemed. The elevator helped a lot. Mom and I were the main unpackers and we went room by room, pulling out things and getting them settled in.
