Housewife Gone Wild

I realized I’d zoned out, staring at Ryan for a good five seconds. I quickly let out an awkward laugh and said, “Sorry, I can’t wrap my head around why you’d come to Hachester for a job.”

Ryan thought for a moment and then said, “After we parted in Shariport, I kept waiting for you to reach out. You’d mentioned Hachester, and I figured we weren’t far apart. Then you vanished–dropped off the face of the earth.

“So I pulled a few strings. I swear I wasn’t snooping.”

“So you didn’t just randomly apply at the hotel?” I asked.

Ryan replied, “Nope, I went there on purpose to find you. The moment I saw you, I was honestly pretty thrilled, but I didn’t dare let it show.”

“So, were you disappointed when you found out I was married and had a kid?” I asked, meeting his gaze.

Ryan said, “Not at all. I asked around and heard you’re in the middle of a divorce with Jared. Maybe I went a bit overboard? You’re not mad, right? I just wanted to get to know you better.”

I couldn’t help but get annoyed. After all, no one could stand living with zero privacy. I asked, “So, did you look up

my whole family history, too?”

Ryan said, “Not that far. Relax, I won’t bother you. I just want to start off as friends.”
