2020-10-05 18:39:40Preparations for the restructuring of the company were in full swing, Kim had put together a team and, as requested, gave Ryan a contact person, and everything seemed to be going well. Even for the time of her trip she had organized and arranged everything so that at least she did not have to worry about this part.
She was now standing in front of the house with her suitcase in a panic; she had no idea how to get through these ten days. Betsy hopped back and forth excitedly, looking for John's car.
"There it is," she cheered as a blue car turned the corner. The car stopped, John got out and hugged Betsy in greeting.
"Hello Kim, ”he nodded,“ It's nice that you're coming too. ”He grabbed her luggage and stowed it in the trunk.
Meanwhile, Kim was relieved to see that John had come alone, Ryan wasn't in the car. They hadn't spoken or seen each other since their meeting in the bistro, and she had no idea how this was going to go. Obviously Ryan had planned to come alone, and she was glad she did, because she still had a couple of hours to hang out before she had to start the drama. She crawled backwards, Betsy sat next to John in the passenger seat and while John ran the engine They both waved once more to their mother, who was standing by the window and watching them. During the drive, Betsy chattered cheerfully, as always, but fortunately concentrated fully on John, so Kim silently huddled in a corner and could hang on to her thoughts.
She had no idea where they were going in the first place, Betsy had said something about a country house or a mountain cabin near Oceanview, that was all she knew. The farther they drove, the more she wanted to ask John to turn around and bring her home, but then she saw Betsy's shining eyes and realized for the hundredth time that she was doing the right thing.
It was almost four hours before John finally stopped in front of a small, secluded country house.
"Wake up, we're here," he said with a smile when he glanced at that both Betsy and Kim had fallen asleep at some point along the way Kim got up and rubbed his eyes. She glanced out the window and saw a black car parked in front of the house. Although she didn't know Ryan's car, she knew immediately it was his, and she took a deep breath, trying to collect herself.
“Oh, by the way, my friend Ryan has also decided on a short-term vacation and will spend the days here with us spend together, I hope you all agree? "John said casually at that moment, as if he had read Kim's mind.
" That's nice, then at least Kim doesn't feel like the fifth wheel on the car, "Betsy grinned and poked her sister meaningfully on the side.
"Thank you, Betsy, very kind of you, "Kim mumbled sadly, and grabbed her suitcase, which John had already unloaded.
Reluctantly she followed them to the door and inside. In fact, Ryan was already there and came towards them.
"John, good to see you," he said happily, patting his friend on the shoulder, "Hello Betsy, hello Kim . ”
“ Hello, ”Kim muttered, avoiding looking at him. Instead, she took a few steps and looked around. Apparently there was only this one room on the ground floor, equipped with a cozy sitting area and a large, old fireplace. Adjacent she could see a kitchen through an open passage, in one corner there was another door, probably a toilet or a storage room.
Everything looked simple, yet comfortable, and under other circumstances Kim might have felt comfortable here. But now she was only thinking of having to survive a whole week in this small room with Ryan, and everything in her cramped.
"How do we go about sleeping?" Asked Betsy to make matters worse. "There are only two bedrooms, so I'd suggest Ryan sleep with me and you two girls share the other room," John said. Kim breathed a sigh of relief as Betsy pouted.
"All right," she grumbled disappointed.
"Let's bring our things upstairs, then." John went ahead, showed them their room, and then pointed to a door. “The bathroom is over there, unfortunately there is only one, but that shouldn't be a problem."
He gave Betsy a kiss. "Then you two take your time to unpack and we'll see you downstairs." Betsy nodded, and Kim followed her into the room with her suitcase.
"It's nice here," Betsy said enthusiastically, and Kim had to agree.
An old one The bed was wide and comfortable, and there was a small sitting area on the other, and a glass door that opened onto a tiny balcony. Everything was just as simple as the living room on the first floor, but still felt warm and Inviting. Kim sighed and fell on the bed. She couldn't avoid going downstairs every now and then, but at least she had a chance to withdraw here if everything got too much for her.
Betsy asked teasingly" How about going for a shopping spree?" Betsy was happy.
Kim fixed her toes uncomfortably. "I don't know, I don't think we have to go shopping with four people, do we?"
"Then John and I go," Betsy blurted out immediately, and even though Kim loved her sister more than anything, at that moment she wanted to kick her hard.
Ryan glanced at John. "All right, then you'll do it and next time it's our turn."
"Any special requests?" John asked, pulling on his jacket. Kim shrugged indifferently Ryan shook his head, and soon after, Betsy and John were gone. As soon as the door closed behind them, Kim turned on his heel and headed for the stairs. "Kim?"
"I'm going upstairs ", She explained shortly and climbed the stairs without noticing,

"You didn't say a note, and at first I got the impression that you couldn't stand it.""Yes, it just turned out that way," Kim muttered.
