CHAPTER 178

  Ian's POV

  The week had flown by in the blink of an eye. Work was surprisingly more social than usual, as my coworkers took a sudden interest in my love life. Marco, an older gentleman I work with, has saved me from their pestering questions on more than one occasion. I think he's becoming an actual friend outside of work. He's invited me to his home to meet his wife and kids. Apparently, they've been together since high school, going on almost 17 years together. Thinking of them together makes me imagine what life could have looked like had I gotten to stay with my Red.
