“OK to start, you like the house, correct?” Leo asked.
	“I love it.” I replied as I looked in his eyes.
	“You love surfing right?” he asked.
	“Yes.” I replied.
	“Well you already seen the private beach. So you can go surfing there anytime you wish.” he replied to that. “Did you accept the job offer last night?”
	“Yes I did.” I replied as I heard my mother cheering that I got a job with Leo to William.
	“Well I work at home a lot and since you will be working under me, what is better than staying here with me. I’ll count all the hours you spend in my office as your surprivised hours along with the ones you spend at the office building.” Leo said which made me smile at the idea of getting my hours done faster.
	“That sounds really good.” I replied.
	“Last but not least,” he said with a giant smile on his face as he looked at my outfit then back at my eyes, “Do you know that you are wearing a pair of my sweats?”

Nothing Is Certain

I made sure that Hannah was in her room before I pulled her mother to the side. I was very concerned about her reaction to my hug earlier and flinching when I brought my hand up. In my experience, only people with a traumatic past act like that. I had a feeling that if I asked her she wouldn't tell me. So I decided to ask her mother.


 "Anna, I was wondering if you can tell me what happened to Hannah? I gave her a hug earlier and she just stood there shocked and worried about my ruined suit." I asked her and her face softened once I finished but I did not miss the way her eyes flashed of concern. "Then she flinched when I brought my hand up. Why?"


 Anna gave me a small smile and placed a hand on my shoulder as she said, "Before I tell you why, you need to know that she has come a long way since then. At times she has her moments like with you in the garage but she has gotten better over all. She is a strong woman and I am proud of who she has become. She does not let what happened to her affect what she does. Do you understand? She is not her past." I nodded at her question to which she told me why Hannah reacted the way that she did and why.


 After we entered the house, I went up stairs to change and take a shower. As I was coming down the stairs, I stopped as I heard Leo talk to my mother by the stairs.


 "After what Hannah's father did to her, she has rejected any physical affection from everyone. I am guilty in that department too as I wasn't around much either." my mother said which made me hold my breath and tighten my grip on the water bottle in my hand. "Once I found out, a year ago, I took Hannah and left. She has amazed me by how far she has come since then. If you want to know more about it, you need to ask her."
