It was then that Ty noticed her own muscles had tensed up in defense. Preparing for another blow so she wouldn’t be taken off guard. “Thank you,” she said in a whisper.Breathe, Ty. Just breathe.
“I told the Jenkins that you were applying for a job here.”
“Why?”She hadn’t expected her response to come out so loud. “Mom…” But rather than get into a cyclical conversation that would only exhaust them both, Ty took a different approach.
“It’s best if you just relax, breathe, and focus on the massage.” Easier said than done. Ty hated that her mom had been giving the Jenkins updates on her life. What Ty did was none of their business. If they wanted to know, they could check in with her directly.
She especially didn’t want Eric to have any details about her. He wanted out? He was out. As it was, all he had tabs on was the direct deposit number for her bank. She’d prefer to keep it that way.
Not that he wanted it any different. It was more likely that his parents would try to shove him back into her life.Did you know that Ty scored a job at a nice B&B in North Carolina? She’s really going places. And Lucas is getting so big. Why don’t you go out there for a visit?
A wave of nausea rumbled through her gut. This massage could not get over fast enough.
