Slippery slope

My mouth falls open.

With everything going on, I completely forgot about the wedding and the fertility specialist. Well, I took that last part with a grain of salt. I do not trust that woman.

At all!

But then it hits me. Ryder's digging through my things? "Why were you snooping through my things?" I am beyond irritated!

What gives him the right?! I look away, trying to control my temper, which is about to bubble to the surface!

"Margie brought it to me. She was washing clothes. Anyway, I did some research. He's the real deal, and I made an appointment. Two weeks from now. It's just a consultation."

Ryder does his calm facial expression, trying to mask his excitement. My heart sores.

"Are you serious?!"

I am beyond excited! This is terrific news! He squeezes my hand and kisses it again.
