Chapter 29

Hannah

Two weeks later

My life with Tobias is only improving. We eat breakfast together in the mornings and have enjoyable conversations. During the day, he works while I study with my friends. And at night… we sleep.

I guess that last part can’t be helped… I would love to fill every night with dirty sex, but the problem is that Tobias works a lot. Some new project at work is keeping him busy. Though, I can’t be too sad. This is the only complaint I have about our relationship.

A smile spreads over my lips as I walk down the stairs from our bedroom. Not only can I smell the scent of pancakes, but it’s Saturday today! It means Tobias won’t be working!

I hurry down the stairs, stopping only when my phone vibrates in my jeans pocket. People hardly ever call me, so this is surprising. I pick up my phone and stare at the display.

Its… my mom.

I pick up the call. “Hello?”

“HANNAH! IS IT TRUE THAT YOU’VE GOTTEN MARRIED?!”

Oh shit… that’s right! I never told my parents. I told myself I would, but I must have forgotten all about it!

Well… it doesn’t matter, though.

My parents are too busy to ever check on me. Even if I called my mom to say I was married, she wouldn’t care. I bet the only reason she knows about my marriage is thanks to my status on social media. It says that I’m married to Tobias Ford.

I stroll into the kitchen while talking. “Yes, I’m happily married to Tobias Ford. Perhaps you know who he is?”
