Lauren hadn’t realized how much she’d gotten used to having Larry around until he wasn’t anymore.
She told herself it was just the adjustment period. That it was normal to feel a little off after spending so much time with someone.
But the truth?
She missed him.
Which was ridiculous.
She hated babysitting Sophie when they first met. She hated the constant teasing, the way he always had something witty to say. But now, things had changed.
Her apartment—once her sanctuary—now felt too quiet without his stupid commentary, without the way he’d steal her snacks or dramatically sigh every time she ignored him.
But she couldn't live in Margaret's house forever. I mean, there was no reason to babysit Sophie when her mother was around.
Lauren tried to shake it off. She wasn’t some lovesick
