Continued from this story…

“Me? What are you doing here?” Erin shot back at Todd, perhaps a little sharp.

“I am or was working for your parents,” he scratched the back of his head, “I am guessing you’re my new boss?”

Todd worked for my parents? Erin wondered if Todd’s the reason her parents left her the ranch. “I… guess, I am.” Erin said after a moment.

The two of them stood there for a moment, unable to think of a single thing to say to one another. Just as Erin was about to speak, Todd said, “Well, I best get going. Daisy Duke ain’t going to milk herself. Do you need a lift back to the house?”

“No, I’m fine. You go ahead.” As Todd walked back to his truck, Erin watched, suddenly noticing his physique. Since when did he get so buff and brawn? Erin wondered, watching as he got in the truck. In their high school days, he was lanky and geeky. He was just as awkward as Erin. “I guess we both outgrown our awkward teenager phases, huh.” Erin muttered as she continued down the driveway.

She couldn’t believe her parents hired Todd to be their helper. “I bet you’re having a laugh now, huh, mom.” She gazed up at the sky. Todd may had been her high school crush but she hadn’t felt anything for him and vowed to never feel anything for him since the day he broke her heart when he gave her a single rose and asked her to dance at Prom before leaving her standing in the middle of the dance floor while he left with another girl.
