When we landed at home, I rushed to get through my work. I didn't want to see her. I was afraid of what she'd say. I think it was the fastest I'd ever finished and I nearly ran down the gangplank, heading for the sanctity of Ryan's apartment. I was surprised to find Ryan waiting for me at the ticket counter, chatting up Margaret again.
"Hello, Ryan."
"Hey, sis!" He winked at her and gave me a huge hug. "Have a good flight?"
"Maybe I should ask
you
that question."
"She's cute. I couldn't help myself." He grinned, dusting his shoulders off as if he was wearing an expensive suit instead a jacket and jeans. "She gave me her number."
"Well, good for you, but don't piss her off. Remember, I have to work with her."
"Work, shmerk." He took my carry-all from my shoulder and put his arm around me. "She won't cause you any problems once she gets a little of Sir Pumps-A-Lot."
I shook my head at the nickname for his penis and laughed. "You are too much, Ry."
