The thought hitout of nowhere. 'l want a child like that."
| drove away from Desmond's parents’ place and back to work. On the way, | tried calling Demi-straight to
voicemail.
Wayne's info had to be solid, so if she wasn't picking up, it was because she was avoiding me. Frustrated, | shot
her a text:
[Demi, if you still considera friend, pick up my call.]
Nothing. No reply. Not even a tead receipt. Just silence.
Guess I'd have to track her down myself.

Technically, | was still on the clock, but my boss wasn't exactly strict. Without hesitation, | booked a flight to
Lindale. Just as | confirmed the ticket, Ron walked in, water glass in hand. "You've been way too chill lately," he
said, plopping into the chair across from me.
| didn't need a crystal ball to know what he meant. He'd probably seen the latest headlines about me. "What?
Here to pile on more work?" | deadpanned.
"Obviously," he shot back. "If | don't, you'll just cause more chaos. And if things go south again, | swear Hayden

"Doesn't matter if he would or not," Ron continued. "You're following company policies now, starting today. Screw
up, and there'll be consequences."
"Fines? Go for it," | shrugged. Money wasn't exactly my problem.
Lena always joked | was a "three-no" person-no parents, no kids, no husband. If I died tomorrow, my fortune

"I am," | nodded. "Fine me, I'll pay. No complaints. But heads up-l need tomorrow off. And the next day."
"Denied!" he barked, trying to play boss for once,

either cover foror | quit. Your choice."
Ron froze. After a pause, he sighed. "You're absolutely insane. Fearless. Completely out of control."
"Obviously, I've got more money than | can burn, and I'm not here for the paycheck," | said with a smug grin,

memories of us.
"Fine," Ron threw up his hands. "You win. But this is the last time. Don't even think about making this a habit."
He shook his head as he muttered, "Even if my grandma showed up, she wouldn't get this kind of treatment."
That madelaugh. "Thanks, grandson. You're making Grandma so proud right now."
"You-"
Then, we both cracked up, and for the first tin forever, | felt like | was genuinely laughing.

The way he squirmed gave him away-someone had definitely put him up to this.
| titled my head. "Wow, you seem super invested in my love life. Any reason why?"
He avoided my gaze and gulped his water like it was his only lifeline.
