“Ryan, you’re so good to me. I’m afraid I’ll never be able to make it up to you,” I said softly.

“I never asked you to give anything back. I just want to see you keep moving forward. Someday, our paths will cross again.” Ryan replied with a smile, slipping right back into that easy, refined charm of his.

I blinked, feeling like that dark, brooding side of him from just now was a whole different person.

Wait… does he actually have a split personality? One lurking in the shadows, the other out in the open?

“Ryan, I hope you don’t mind me asking, but do you have a therapist?” I looked at him seriously.

Ryan frowned. “Why are you asking?”

“Have you ever checked if you might have, like, a split personality or something?”

Ryan stared at me for a full three seconds. “Wow, that’s really blunt.”

I blushed in embarrassment and gave a nervous laugh. “It’s just… the way you switch up your whole vibe is kind of intense.”

“Relax, I’m totally normal. No split personalities, I promise. But if you still think there’s something wrong with me, I can show you my health report, alright? Ms. Murphy?”

Looks like I really did get under his skin. Still, that health report… honestly, I wouldn’t mind taking a peek.

“Seriously? I mean, when two people are into each other, swapping health reports is just another way to show respect,” I joked, rolling with it.

“Victoria…” Ryan’s face flushed red in embarrassment. “I don’t have any… performance issues.”
