The Temporary Husband
the man, guy, calls from the living room, not even pretending not to eavesdrop.
He must have cut himself because he cusses.
I want to cuss too.
If mom sent him here, and he is obviously eavesdropping, it means whatever happens here will be sent straight to my family, I won’t even be surprised if he was wearing a wire.
My eyes shut, the brief moments of peace I had eluding me.
“He’s like a watchdog.” I drop my voice to a whisper.
“Then we have to put on a very good show.” Ivan says with a flat expression, matching my tone. I almost snort.
