As Hana handed out the mugs of codice, inking Lauretor if he needed milk or sugar, the seemed to have relaxed. It made me feel a little better.

“I think that was merything. Thank you be taking me to help me,” Laurence finally said. We stood up.

“Do you know if he is seeing someone?” she asked.
*) have no idea, sweetness. I just work with him from time to time. We don’t keep track of our employees‘ love life,” I said with a chuckle.
“I guess that is fair,” she agreed. “Well, I will just have to tell Wise about it and then we’ll see where to go from there,” she decided.
“Sounds good. How about we treat ourselves to some take out as I made us both work late,” I offered.
“Oh no mister. Don’t try that again. I have everything prepared for a meatloaf. We just need to put it into the oven and boil the potatoes,” she told me

“I like moking, especially when I’m not going to eat alone. But I like the idea of cooking with you. We did good when we haked,” she told me and giggled. I laughed and kissed her. We walked into the kitchen and I did the bare minimum by placing the rady meatloaf into the oven for hot.
“I have a question,” I said as we set the breakfast counter to eat.
“When I got home I wanted to kiss you when I first saw you. But I didn’t. Partly because of the brain between you and Laurence, but also because I didn’t know if you would be comfortable with it. Would you be comfortable with me telling other people about us?” asked
“First, why do you call him Lauwere?” she asked.

“But you call John by his drame,” she pointed out.
“Oh, his rome an‘ John. It’s Albert,” I told har and she looked at me like I was crazy. “John is the name he uses when he goes undercover and it stuck, so now everyone calls him that,” I explained.
“Confining, but okay. Back to your question. I don’t know. We haven’t had the discussion about what we are. Things have just… happened” she said. She was right. I had been so focused on making sure Hana felt the same way as I did, I didn’t even think about this part. I walked up to her and pulled her into my arms.
“How do you see us?” I asked. Then I regretted the question. Maybe she would be too timed to answer? Had I placed her in a situation she felt comered? “Uh, you don’t have to “I started to

“It’s okay, Huster. For once I do know what I want and I feel safe enough to tell you,” she said. I relaxed and waited. “I really like you Hunter. You have only made me feel safe and special. And there is chemistry between us as well. I would be happy with telling people we are officially dating” she told me I had to smile at her.
“Boyfriend and girlfriend?” I asked, feeling like I was too old for that kind of thing, but I didn’t have a better word for it.
“Yes,” she as
she agreed happily. “Exclusive,” she added. It wasn’t quite a question, but not a statement either,
“Definitely,” I told her with conviction. “Thave no interest in anyone but you, aweetness,” I assured her. “And you are okay with people knowing even if they know about our relationships with Simon? I asked, I needed to be UT,
