He did not know that she had become curious as to who was in his life.
"Well, the thing is… I … you" She glanced around as if there was someone in the house. There was no one yet she was whispering, and mumbling words that she could not fathom.
"What are you doing?" He looked around trying to wonder what it was that she was looking at. There was nothing like that, they were good and no one was around the house. "Are you sure you don't need water,? What is it Hannah, you know that you can tell me anything and I won't get mad at you"
She was not scared that he would get mad at her, he knew that he would not do that but she just couldn't let the word out no matter how hard she tried. It was just stuck in her throat and there was nothing that she could do about it.
"No matter how hard I try the words won't just come out"
"That's serious, that means you want to ask something that embarrassing or something that you think is I will likely not –"
"Are you married or in any way relationship?"
"Is that it?"
She nodded her head that was being way too forward and she would not want to be that way, she just wanted to be nearer to him without having to be forward all the time. It also felt weird for her to ask the question since he did not really ask her anything about her personal life.
"You don't have to answer if that makes you uncomfortable, you know what you can just forget about it, I am not that curious to know"
She lies.
"What are you saying? If you want to know something, there is nothing wrong with that, know what I think I will ask you first, tell me about your relationship'
"I only had a relationship once"
"And?".
"You already met him what you came to the company, he was the one you beat up, I told you about it"
Shawn already knew this as well but just wanted to hear it from her, he knew all about the love triangle and the fact that Mike was trying so hard to try and win her back but that was pointless, she was not going back to him, not after what did to her when they were together. He turns out to be worse than than her father, at least with her father, she has long given up on him and he never pretended that he loved her and took her as one of his daughters.
That was why no one accepted her in the first place, she was not even accepted by the man who was her father so who would accept her?
