eyebrows.
                  “No, Ryder seems like an okay guy, but I don’t like him.”
                  “But there is someone, isn‘t there? You can’t stop smiling.”
                  “No, I was just thinking that his assistant Camden is really nice and I think this could be fun too. I don’t like anyone,” I insist.
                  “Okay, I think that this Camden guy seems like he can keep you safe from any potential problems and this seems like a fun adventure, you have been working so hard for Jackson and me. But any money that you get will go towards getting you set up on your own, so you can move back to Iowa and find a teaching job. I know that this is what you want. Though I will miss you like crazy.”
                  I know that she will insist that I keep this money, but she is getting it anyways, I could never leave her struggling after everything that she has done for me after losing my parents and brother.
                  “I’ll miss you guys too. Are you sure I should do this?” I ask her. I wouldn‘t feel right if Karen doesn‘t think I should do this. “Are you sure you won’t need me here?”
                  “No, I think you need to do this. One big adventure before you enter the job market and go out into the real world. You have to promise to call me every day. And I wouldn’t hate it if you happened to snap a few pictures of a shirtless Ryder and sent them to me.”
                  “Really, Karen? I really doubt that is something I will see anyways.” I’m bright red now. Amy and Karen both enjoy embarrassing me. I almost dread the nights when we are all working together, but the fun we usually has together is almost worth it. Almost.
                  “I think it would be nice if I could meet this Camden before you leave, it will make me feel better. I know I get to be the cool aunt who tells you to go out on adventures, but I still need to be a parent and watch out for your safety,” she says getting up from the table to get us a piece of the chocolate cake she made a few days ago.
                  “You can meet him tomorrow; he is coming by to help me pack.” I tell her then take a bite of her amazing chocolate cake. It is the one thing that she can cook.
                  “Wow, how nice is that? Maybe this Camden guy is worth getting to know.” She says with a wink. “Is he cute?”
                  “I don’t think he is trying to be sweet. I kind of got the impression that Ryder put him in charge of making sure I’m happy and watching me. I think I’m more like a job. And yes, he is cute.” I admit, blushing. “He’s very muscular, tan and nice blue eyes. But please don’t embarrass me when he comes over, I need to work with this guy. Okay?”
                  “When have I ever embarrassed you?” she asks feigning a shocked expression.
                  I just roll my eyes, if I had a dollar for every time she tried to embarrass me in front of a guy, I wouldn’t be in this mess now.  “Just be nice and no embarrassing stories and no bringing out the photo albums.”
                  “Yes, Sweets,” she answers with a smile.
                  “Okay, I’m going to bed. Long day of packing tomorrow. I love you. And thanks for everything,” I say, placing our dishes in the sink.
                  “Love you too, Elaina. Thanks for going into work tonight. Get some rest.”

                  I wake up early to go down to the café that I saw on the corner and get coffee and bagels to take over to Ellie’s apartment.
                  Maybe this is all a mistake, I love Ryder like a brother, but he can be a real asshole to girls, she doesn’t deserve that. However, it seems like she needs the money and wants to
