“Do you want to come in for a drink?”
“Nope.”
“We could talk.”
“About what?”
“About us.”
“There is no us, Hannah.”Where the hell was that coming from?“We haven’t been together in years, and I have no interest in changing that.Plus, you’re married.”
“Brian is barely around.”
“And that means you want to fuck me?No.I’m not interested.”And I was involved with Reegan, but even if I wasn’t, I didn’t want Hannah.
“Is that so?Fine then.”She got out of my truck and slammed the door.She stalked to her house, letting herself in and closing the door without a wave.
“What the fuck?”I shook my head and headed home.
My house was dark, too.And quiet.So quiet.
I tried to ignore the quiet with the TV, but it pressed in harder.
I turned the TV off and went to Evie’s room.I sat on her bed and looked around the room.She was a good kid.Smart and kind.She would love college.And whatever else her life brought.
My phone dinged with a text.I smiled when I saw Reegan’s name on my screen.
How was the drop-off?
Good.Hard.
I can imagine.Sorry.
What are you doing?
Watching a movie with Ashlyn.
Oh.Never mind.I was going to see if you wanted to have dinner.Or spend the night.
Ashlyn had a rough day.But she said she’s okay with you coming here if you want to.
I don’t want to interrupt your night.
You’re not.I heard your truck.I’ve been thinking about you all day.Ashlyn is the one who said I should see how you are and invite you over.
If you’re sure…
Yes.We are.
I’ll be right there.
Door’s unlocked.
I smiled and left Evie’s room.I had plenty of time to be alone.For a little while longer, I was going to enjoy my time with Reegan.
Twenty-Two
Reegan
