Ryan stayed in the car and told me, “Get some rest. See you tomorrow.”

I glanced back at him, and he raised his hand, saying, “I’ll wait until you’re inside.”

Once Ryan couldn’t see me anymore, I finally let myself relax.

Being so on edge tonight wasn’t how I usually lived, and it just made me feel restless.

The first thing I did when I got home was take a shower and change out of the dress. I slipped into a light, comfy camisole nightdress, then sat down at my computer to get some work done.
