Chapter 10
They kissed for what felt like an eternity, only pulling away when her flight was called.
Eric trailed his fingers through her hair, cupping her cheek tenderly. “Call me when you land, I’m going to figure out that whole video chat thing everyone is doing these days. I’d rather see you when we talk.”
Sookie smiled. “I’ll be back before you even know it. Don’t frown, I am coming back. I made a promise, and I’m not one to break those. My grandmother raised me better than that.”
He hugged her, letting her go when it was time to board the plane, but not without giving her one more kiss. “Be safe, dear one, we’ll talk soon.”
With one last wave, Sookie made her way over to the gate. This trip home couldn’t end soon enough.

“Oh my God!”
Sookie cringed. “Seriously, Ames, only dogs can hear you now.”
Amelia slapped her on the arm. “I can’t believe you never said anything about this when we talked on the phone last night. I’ve only been your best friend for the last ten years. How could you keep this from me?”
Sookie shrugged. “There was no point. I knew I would be seeing you soon, and this wasn’t exactly something I wanted to discuss over the phone.”
She pulled her friend down on the couch, sitting next to her. “Okay, tell me everything. Last I heard you guys knocked boots, but then he left because he didn’t think it would be a good idea for you to continue seeing each other. And now you’re back together, not only that, but you’ve decided to move to New York permanently? Sookie, this isn’t like you at all. I’m sure Eric is a great guy, but you hardly even know him. You’ve lived here your whole life. You’re just gonna take off and move to the big city, where you probably won’t know what’s going on half the time, and all for a guy? Please, explain this to me, because I’m finding it very hard to process. Do you remember when I briefly moved to Iowa to be with Bob? It was a major disaster. Only one week living together, and we realized it would never work out. We just wanted too many different things.”
Sookie rubbed her temples, feeling a migraine coming on. “I’m not you, Ames. There is a lot more at stake than just some guy. I wouldn’t be considering this if I didn’t feel it was the right path for me. I believe that Eric and I are meant to be together. I’ve felt so much with him in just two weeks, I honestly don’t think anyone else could do it for me. As my best friend, it would really mean a lot if you would support me right now. I’m already bound to get a lot of crap from everyone else in town. I don’t need it from you, too.”
Amelia nodded. “I’m not going to tell you how crazy you are, Sook. If you feel this is right for you, then I’ll be supportive as hell. I just hope you know what you’ll be getting into. You said he has kids, that’s a lot of responsibility right there. Are you ready for that?”
“I think I am. I mean, I’ve always wanted kids, and these girls are great. I know you would love them. Like I told you, I’ve thought a lot about this. I feel in my heart that this is right for me, and if things don’t work out, at least I know that I tried.”
Amelia let out a breath. “Sam is going to freak. You know he was hoping you would finally notice him now that Bill is out of the picture, he won’t be happy to find out you already met someone else. Not to mention how Bill would react, I still can’t believe he actually followed you there. Talk about not being able to let go, that should be a fun conversation.”
Sookie groaned. “Don’t remind me, he’s the last person I want to see right now. Sam’s been a good friend, and I know it’ll be hard to leave a bar that I’ve been at for five years, but I think it’s time. He’ll just have to understand.”
“Good luck with that, but you can worry about him later. Tell me more about Eric, how great is he in the sack?”
Sookie rolled her eyes, but there was a hint of a smile on her face. One thing was for sure, she would really miss Amelia.

“You’re what?”
“I’m giving my two weeks notice,” Sookie explained, knowing that it would be hard to make Sam see reason, but she wasn’t going to back down.
Sam Merlotte ran his fingers through his shaggy hair, a confused expression on his face. “Why? Is it because of Bill? I can make sure he doesn’t come back in here anymore. You don’t have to worry about him.”
“This has nothing to do with Bill. The truth is that I loved New York so much; I’m planning on moving there next month. I just had to take care of a few things first, one being letting you know in person that I can no longer work here. I know this came out of nowhere, but I figured two weeks was enough time. This is a small town, I’m sure you can find someone to replace me before I leave.”
Sam was stunned by this new information. “You’re moving to New York? What the hell brought that on? Sure, I love the city as much as the next person, but I’d never wanna live there. You’re a small town girl, Sook, that place will eat you alive. You can’t be serious about this. I get that your break up was hard, but moving so far away isn’t the answer.”
Sookie was starting to lose what little patience she had left. “Would you quit it with Bill already? This has nothing to do with him. I’m moving for me, getting away from Bill is just an added bonus, but I’m not about to change my entire lifestyle just because of him. What kind of woman do you take me for? I’m sorry to just leave you hanging like this, Sam, but I feel this is the right thing to do. I hope you can accept that, now if you’ll excuse me, I have some customers.” She walked away then, not waiting for a response. If Sam ever found out the real reason for the move, she’d never hear the end of it.
As if the fates were out to get her, Bill Compton was sitting at a nearby table, and he did not look pleased.
