Housewife Gone Wild

I had put on some heavy makeup today, so I did look completely different from before. I frowned and said, “Ryan,

maybe you should let Silas head back and get some rest. He looks exhausted.”

“I’m fine. I can still help out,” Silas insisted, trying to wave off my concern.

“Silas, it’s okay. Go on home,” Ryan said softly.

Silas blinked in surprise, then nodded and said, “Alright, Ryan. Just make sure you don’t tire yourself out.”

Sally and Quinn rushed out after them.

Just then, Ryan set down what he was holding and said to me, “Ms. Murphy, I’m heading out for a bit.”

I wanted to call him back, but he was already heading out the door.
