While it wasnāt uncommon for Riley to visit her mother, it was a bit more uncommon for her to practically be summoned to see her. It wasnāt formal or anything but theĀ āwe need to talkā tone of her motherās request sent shivers down her spine. Her mother rarely ever discussed business or anything of major importance with her (since Riley was fairly powerless to help and far too inexperienced at politicking and life to provide useful advice) so she could only assume the business on the table was herself.
Or rather, her hand in marriage.
It had been a few weeks since the wedding and Riley hadnāt found anyone she even considered getting married to. The only individual she remotely liked enough was Sean but her mother would never allow her to marry a verified serial killer with no sense of class and Riley heard through the grapevine that Sean had his own affairs to deal with. Not to mention Riley wouldnāt do that to him. He was a friend and she didnāt want him stuck with her.Ā
Still, she was warming up to the idea, if only slightly. She would still have a majority of her freedom and it was really just playing escort, right? Be someoneās official date to everything and have sex once in a while. It didnāt sound too bad. Painted a different way with a little suggestive roleplay sprinkled in between and it could even be sexy... At least, that was what she was trying to convince herself of.
When she arrived at her motherās door, she took a deep breath before entering, a smile plastered on her face to reassure the woman.Ā āHi mom,ā she greeted, immediately walking over to where she was sitting so she could give her a small hug.Ā āWhatās up?ā
