And in this moment, I let go of everything I’ve been running from.
I let go of the pain.
I let go of the sadness.
I let go of my fear.
And I just...
Am.
12.
Ryan
“How was your day?”
Margaret, my in-home assistant, has always been thoughtful and kind. She functions as more than a housekeeper or personal manager, though. She makes sure that my not-at-work side is well taken care of. She keeps my house stocked with everything I need to be comfortable and happy. She keeps me safe and sane.
“It was good.” More than good. Great. It was so much better than it should have been. Since when am I the kind of person to make out with girls at work? I can already tell that Alex is going to absolutely ruin me.
We didn’t even sleep together. Perhaps that’s the wildest part of this entire experience to me. We didn’t even undress. We just made out like a couple of teenagers, and then we parted ways.
Nothing gets past Margaret.
“Oh?”
“Yeah.”
She puts her hands on her hips.
“In all of the time I’ve known you, you’ve never had a good day at work,” she points out.
“I’ve had good days.”
“Name one.”
“Today.”
“It’s that new girl you hired, isn’t it?”
I act appalled. “New girl? What do you mean?”
Margaret laughs. “You’ve always had a thing for pretty girls, Mr. Shadowvale. This one is different, though. Isn’t she?”
