Page 16 of Billionaire Unforgettable: Tanner

I took a deep breath.

I wasn’t sure what had motivated him to help me, but he certainly didn’t need to do it.

The whole thing was confusing. Tanner Remington rarely thought about anything else except his obsession with KTD Remington.

Me:Tanner?

Tanner:Yeah?

Me:Thanks for doing this. It means a lot to me.

I was fairly certain this one drink would help change my situation in Crystal Fork, and since my mother was here and I wanted to be in the area, it would make my life a lot easier.

Yeah, Tanner had been a major asshole, but that had happened years ago.

The man was a billionaire and people adored him and his family in Crystal Fork.

There was really no benefit to him for helping me.

My chest squeezed from a brief moment of nostalgia.

At one time, Tanner had been a good man with a very good heart.

Maybe some of that kindness still existed.

Or maybe I just wanted to believe that it did.

Tanner:Don’t thank me, Hannah. I was an asshole. Maybe it was a long time ago, but I’d like to make things right.

Me:You don’t have to.

Tanner:No, I don’t. I want to. I’m heading out to get a table. See you at eight.

I looked at the time on my phone and set it back on the counter.

It was already after seven, but my apartment was in town, and I could walk to The Mug And Jug.

I polished off my donut and called it dinner before I took my glass of wine into the bedroom.

I was dressed in a pair of old jeans and a ratty shirt that had seen better days.

I’d showered after I’d gotten home from my shift at Sweet Mornings, and I’d dressed like I was going to be a couch potato for the evening. That was, after all, how things had been for me for a while now.

I don’t need to get dressed up for Tanner.

The Mug And Jug was extremely casual, and Tanner Remington had seen me at my worst and my best over the years that we were together.

However, I enjoyed doing my makeup and my hair since it was part of my business to look good.

And at the moment, I needed a little confidence booster.

I didn’t want to look like I was trying too hard or overdressed, so I put on a decent pair of straight jeans and a cute, ruby red sweater. The top was fitted, but the neckline wasn’t exactly sexy.

I added a pair of casual ankle boots, some bangle bracelets, and some earrings that matched my top.

I stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and did my makeup and hair.

I used makeup shades and colors that made my brown eyes pop, and then added a little curl to my shoulder length, dark brown hair.
