It was surprising just how exhausting it was to look at houses. They'd gone to a couple of open houses before he'd gotten stabbed, but that'd come to an abrupt halt when their lives got turned upside down. Now.... now, it was Memorial Day Weekend, and their realtor somehow talked them into seeing six houses. That was how they were spending the day off when the boys were at the sitter, and even as they'd followed him through house after house, shooting glances at each other that said maybe or no way in hell, they made notes and tried to just...

Get it over with, while still paying attention. It was an important decision, just... Well.

When the realtor was downstairs in the third house while Jax and Tara walked around the upstairs, she remarked lowly, "I think what we really need is a new realtor after today." She grinned, and opened yet another closet, making a face. "Smells weird."

The fourth and Fifth were better, and when they got to the sixth...

It was beautiful, but honestly - Tara looked back at the realtor. "We're just going to need time to think about it." He pressed but Jax slung an arm over her shoulder, raising his eyebrows in a clear you heard her.

It wasn't until they were back on the sidewalk outside, the realtor gone that Tara turned around to look at the house as she leaned against him. "What do you think?" She threaded her fingers with his, turning to press a kiss to the back of his hand.
