He walks over to her with his hand out. “Nice to finally meet you.”
“I thought it was Carrie with an i-e?” Her face is pale, and her eyes are wide.
Guess she should’ve gotten whoever she hired to confirm that Carey was a she, not a he, too.
“People get that wrong all the time. Ends in an e-y actually. Which room is mine?” He spots Rylan across the room and nods at him. “What’s up, man? Carey.”
“Rylan.”
“Point the way, and I’ll be out of your hair,” Carey says.
He seems friendly enough, but the tattoos and leather jacket in his hand… this is not Brinley’s style. Sawyer wore a suit to work every day. Not that she’s looking at this guy as a possible romantic partner, but I want her to be comfortable in her own apartment.
“Um. Just around the corner to the right is your room.” Brinley looks at me with wide eyes when he disappears down the hall.
“Nice guy. Let’s go.” Rylan comes to stand next to me.
“You can’t leave me here. She is a he!” Brinley whisper-shouts.
“Actually, he’s always been a he. Sounds like a mix-up with the paperwork,” I say, which earns me a not-so-nice look from Brinley. “We can stay a little longer, right, babe?”
Rylan groans. “Fine.” He drops the boxes and goes to sit on the couch.
“What do I do?” Brinley brings her nails to her mouth.
We both look in the direction Carey went. “I have no idea.”
