It was tough at first, setting up a bank account, and finding a place that fit my budget—and trying to figure out the paper work for any job I had.
[Was it brave to have stayed for this long? Maybe.
There a soft chuckle from Rey, opting to finish the last piece of her pastry. ]
Yeah, one of my other friends said I should make it clear to whoever I date next that they really have to let me know.
[A bit of a quirk, albeit an embarrassing one. But, better to be clear and concise than vague. Rey also failed to realize she could’ve teased or flirted with Buck—asking him how he’d tell her or show her they were dating.
She wasn’t kidding when she said some things (like romance) flew over her head. Her mind was going over the new question he posed. ]
That…is a good question.
[It was probably for the best to be up front about what either of them wanted in a relationship. The hard part was, Rey didn’t know exactly what she wanted—a house, a kid, or both or nothing. She was so used to surviving that the idea of thriving was a foreign concept. ]
I want to do well with my job and grow in my career, and I’m more than likely staying in the States unless I have a compelling reason to head back to the UK. Maybe travel—for fun and not for work.
[Another pause as she tucked her hair behind an ear. ]
I’m 27, technically still in my 20s, and I think I have time to figure out what else I’d want in life. [Beat. ] what about you?
