I felt like s**t for cutting my date with Hailey short. I would have much rather stayed with her and allowed Ryan to find his own way home, but he’d had way too much to drink, and he didn’t have many people he could phone. The last thing I wanted was for him to be locked up when proving ourselves to the team was so important. And I knew if the roles were reversed, he would have done the same for me. Maybe. I tried to picture Ryan in the middle of the act, having some woman pinned beneath him and still answering the phone. It sounded like something he would do, and I chuckled.
Either way, I had helped Ryan out when he’d needed me, and even though Hailey had been distant and switched off by the time I had dropped her at home, she’d reassured me that she understood.
Still, I wanted to
