Lara looked at Ryan over the top of her latté. “You guys fought over a tour again?” “Well, we didn’t exactly fight,” Ryan said with a rueful smile. “I got out before it became a fight. But there was definitely a difference of opinion.” “What happened?” “I already told you. Brody got upset when he realized I would be gone the rest of the summer. Then I got upset and left. I just knew if I stayed and we kept talking, it would get ugly.” Ryan stopped and took a drink of her coffee. She’d gone to Lara’s mom’s after leaving Brody’s place the other night; she couldn’t take the idea of being around a happy couple, even if it was Lara and Trout. “Have you talked to him since?” Lara asked. Ryan stared at the table. “I texted him to let him know I was at your mom’s, and I called yesterday and left a message. I don’t know what else to do.” “How about going to see him?” “Maybe. I do want to talk to him, I just don’t know what to say. I’m going on the tour, obviously. I’m sorry it messes with his plans, but I can’t help it. I didn’t ask him to stay in Virginia.” Ataşehir escort bayan “Hey, relax.” Lara raised an eyebrow. “You’re getting defensive, and I’m on your side.” “I know, I know. I don’t mean to, I’m sorry. I just—” Ryan took a deep breath. “I guess I’m kind of scared. I’m not sure if we can fix this.” “Sure you can, Ry, it’ll just take—” “Lara, it’s okay.” Ryan gave her friend a half-smile. “I want it to work but I know it might not.” “Don’t interrupt,” Lara admonished. “Sorry.” “Anyway, yes, it’ll take work and I don’t know what else from the both of you. But I can’t believe Brody would let you go over a business trip.” Ryan laughed. “A business trip?” “Sure, why not?” Lara shrugged. “My aunt works for a multinational whatever, and she’s gone on trips that lasted two and three months. Or think of it as TDY.” “A temporary duty assignment? Come on, we’re not working for the government.” “Don’t be so literal. You’re doing that to avoid the subject.” “Yeah, I guess.” Ryan slumped in her chair. “I’m serious, Escort Ümraniye I don’t know what to say. He wants me to go and doesn’t want me to go. Where does that leave me? It’s not like I can leave half of me here and half go on the tour.” “Maybe you need to pick a new point and start from there,” Lara suggested. “I guess, but it’s going to come back to the same thing. Him traveling for the team is fine. Me traveling for music isn’t. Sports wins, as usual.” Ryan felt sick as she said the words. “You don’t know that’s true,” Lara said. “You were both upset and you’ve had a couple of days to calm down. You really should talk. It’s not going to go away if you ignore it.” “Why not?” “Come on, Ryan. You know I’m right.” “I know. That’s why I keep you around.” Ryan’s smile was small but genuine. “That and my fabulous singing voice.” Lara tossed her hair back and Ryan had to laugh. “Yeah, yeah, that, too.” Ryan finished her coffee. “I will talk to him. I just don’t know what to say.” “Don’t worry. You’ll figure Bostancı escort it out.” x-x-x-x Brody didn’t know what to do. Once again, he was in a place he’d never been in a relationship. They hadn’t broken up, but he wasn’t sure what to do that would mean they were back together. It was a kind of limbo and he didn’t like it. What had happened to him, he wondered. When had he gone from not wanting anything serious until after he retired to wanting to fix things with Ryan as soon as possible? And worse, why did it seem unfixable? They’d talked after Ryan had left but they never got anywhere. She was leaving in just over a week and he did not want her to go with things unsettled between them. He rubbed at his temples and went to get some medicine for a headache. Luckily this was a normal headache and not anything left from his concussion. The phone rang and he debated whether to answer, but he picked up when he saw Bax’s name. “Hi, Bax.” “Hey, Langer. How’s your summer going?” “It’s going. How’s Boston?” “Actually, we’re all down here. Doreen and I decided to bring the kids down for part of the summer. We’ll head back to Boston in a couple of weeks.” Bax sounded relaxed and happy, no doubt pleased to be reunited with his family. Brody ignored the jealous feeling that rose up. “That’s cool. What do the kids think of it so far?” “So far they think it’s great.
