I like having a life outside my brother.
But actually having more responsibility—
That's fucking amazing.
"I'll think about it," I say.
"Never worked so hard to give someone a promotion." Ryan chuckles.
"You should," Hunter says.
I ignore him.
He doesn't get to offer me life advice now.
I'm so…
UGH.
He's standing there all happy and sure of himself. Like he did this. Fuck him.
If he's spilling my feelings, I'm spilling his. "Hunter wants to stay."
"Oh?" Ryan turns to Hunter.
"Yeah. So that's one artist down," I say.
"Only took us a year." Ryan chuckles.
I motion to Dean and Chloe.
"She's got another eighteen months before she's doing her own shit," he says.
"Really?" Learning to tattoo takes a long fucking time.
He nodsreally.
God, eighteen months learning under Dean.
At least she's actually gettingunderDean.
That will do a lot for their sanity.
"Hunter?" Ryan asks. "You want to work here?"
"Yeah," he says.
"Fuck, don't sound so excited," Ryan says.
"If Ryan is mocking your enthusiasm, you know it's bad," I say.
Ryan flips me off.
I return the gesture.
"What's this about excitement?" Dean calls.
Chloe shoots him areallylook.
