Bryson, on the other hand, flooded her inbox with texts, suggesting he’d swing by after wrapping up his work for the day.

Recalling her evening plans, Hannah texted Bryson back.

[Meet me at Cafe 92 after 9 p.

m.

tonight.

Got another invite there.

Swing by when you’re free.

Just as she hit send, her phone rang.

It was Lydia.

The moment Hannah picked up, Lydia’s teasingly sweet voice filled the air.

”

“They can dream on! My folks can’t boss me around in Valmere.

Relatives meddling in my love life? Not happening!”

“Great.

Seriously, I’ll rush back to be with you as soon as I can.

Just make sure Brayden treats you right while I am away.

”

Lydia’s cheeks flushed.

“Who says I need him around!”
