Dani held her breath until her partner, Greg, pulled the bus back out on the highway after their lunch stop. She knew coming up here there was a chance she’d run into him, but she hadn’t expected it on her first day.
“You okay?” Greg asked from beside her.
“Yeah, I just saw someone I didn’t expect to see.”
“Who?” Greg glanced her way with a frown.
“My ex.”
“Your ex?” Greg looked at her again before turning back to the road. “You just got to town.”
“Yeah, he’s been an ex for a while. I just didn’t realize it would be that hard to see him again.”
“How long?”
“Almost ten years.”
“Wow. You must have been what? Fifteen?”
Dani laughed. “Thank you for that.”
“No, I’m serious. You’re not more than what? Twenty-five?”
“You do know I have a kid, right?”
“No, but he can’t be that old.”
