While Pandora was not at work, she was trying to use all her internet stalking skills to try and find out who and where Nemo was. Still, after weeks, she was drawing up a blank. Just as she was about to switch off the laptop, Bean and Curd started moving around.“Hey, you two, I am not giving up. I just don’t have enough information to find him right now,” she said as she rubbed her belly, but they kept moving around. "If it comes down to it I'll make a stupid tiktok and ask the internet to find him. I swear to you I will find him." For some ungodly reason, she ended up on Craiglist, the holy grail of ads and ‘find my mystery person’ posts. She groaned at some of the posts. They made her cringe and they weren’t even about her. But there was one ad that caused her to grit her teeth together. [My Brother-in-Law and the runaway bride.I, along with my wife and her family took a short vacation to Vegas.]Pandora tilted her head a little. The situation sounded somewhat familiar! [We—ap

“Is your husband due back tonight?” he asked. Pandora frowned and shook her head slowly. But this only made him look more worried than before. “Pandora, I would like someone to be here to watch over you tonight.” She gasped, stopping her movement, and started to agree with him instead. “I could call someone?” She tried to make herself sound sure and confident, but it still sounded like a question. "Okay, you do that. Come by my office tomorrow so I can look you over again." "I can't. I am working early and most likely will be there late too. My boss' mother-in-law passed away." Benjamin scratched at his head. "Fine. I'll come to you. Where do you work?" "There's no need," she protested. "Yes, there is." "No." "Pandora! I found you in the rain. You were crying and trying to change a goddamn tire. You're doing all of this because your 'husband'—" Pandora was taken by surprise that Benjamin spat out the word husband and did the same air quotes she had done earlier, "—canceled you

“Pee? What do you think I am?”“Pregnant,” he stated nonchalantly. Pandora grumbled as she snatched the cup from him. By the time she walked back, Benjamin had set out a bunch of food and drinks on the table.“What is all of this?” she asked, feeling a lot hungrier than she had been moments ago. The smell of food wafted in her direction, making her stomach grumble pitifully.“Lunch,” Benjamin replied without looking at her. “I didn’t know this was part of your services, Doctor Parks,” she chuckled.“This is a special treatment reserved for patients I like!” Benjamin retorted with a wink before he took the cup from Pandora.“You know… I am grateful for this and last night. But you don’t need to look after me,” she whispered. She was touched by his gesture. The sad fact was, Derrik had made her coffee every morning for all the years they were together. That was the only thing he had contributed to their relationship.“Someone has to do it,” he insisted while he looked at the stick he p

Where she called the man Nemo and she was sure it wasn’t his name. She was sure she would never get over that embarrassment. "I should go and let you get to work. I don't think that being the only patient could keep a doctor's lifestyle going," she joked to lighten the mood. "Yeah, I need to see more patients or how will I heat my pool?" Benjamin played along. "See you in a few days," he said, giving her a pointed look. "You will, more so if you keep feeding my fat ass." Benjamin rolled his eyes. "Make the appointment before you leave. I already have a slot set aside for you, so you just need to confirm at the front desk. That way, when we're finished, I can take you out for dinner.” He paused as she made her way to the door. Before she could walk out, he made one last comment to put a smile on her face. “And you don't have a fat ass!"- - - - - Pandora moved around her kitchen, cleaning it. But a small squeaking sound stopped her. She glanced around but couldn’t see anything th

The entire time she typed, Milton called and yelled at her through the bathroom door.[Hi, this is the Jane your brother-in-law was mentioning in his last message. For what it is worth, I am truly sorry for the cruel pranks he is playing on you. If you do want to get him back for it, you should know people in government jobs get into an embarrassing situation far more easily than us civilians. A good batch of spiked brownies should do the trick, in my opinion. If you want to really screw with him, put the fake wife he gifted you in the trunk of his car. Anonymously report that you saw someone put a girl in a truck. That way he will get pulled over. I would personally love to see how he would get out of that one. Just so you know, I am deleting this text so he can’t see it. If you do respond, make it quick. You have three minutes. I am on your side, brother-in-law.] Pandora bit her lip as she started to watch the time. After two and a half minutes, she started to feel a wave of sadnes
