Dawn in Vancouver

Chapter 41: "I Love You"

"A ti mi verdadera nacionalidad, en ti se acaba el río comienza el mar"

"A Ti" by Sin Bandera

Ryan sighed as he heard the knocking on the door. Leaving Jason in the kitchen was not a good idea, especially after the mess they had both made the day before. Sonia, the assistant they had hired for the vacation had shown no sign of life. Therefore, he and Jason had had to fend for themselves for the previous two days.

He arrived at the door and opened it quickly to find a woman in a huge white coat and white hat.

"How can I help you?" Ryan said politely causing the woman to turn around.

Ryan's eyes widened at the woman in front of him. Beautiful white skin greeted him along with piercing greenish eyes that were adorned by beautiful blonde hair that fell in slings over her shoulders. Ryan literally stood static.

"Good morning," the woman said with a smile adorning an angelic face, "Is this Lauren Jauregui's house?"

Ryan stared at her and suddenly snapped out of his astonishment.

"Who are you?" he said quickly, thinking she might be a journalist.

"My name is Dianna Agron and I'm Sonia's granddaughter," she said softly. "My grandmother is not in very good health and that is why she could not attend these days. And she sent me in her place because she had a commitment with Mrs. Jauregui. I hope you have no problem with that."

"Is Sonia unwell? He said genuinely concerned for the elderly lady who was so good to Lauren and him. "Is she okay? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Dianna smiled at him and stared at Ryan and then gently shook her head.

"He's feeling better now, but he still can't go out, especially in this weather," Ryan said.

"Oh my God," he said apologetically, pulling away. "I'm sorry for keeping you outside all this time. I'm Ryan Green," he said, introducing himself as he closed the door, "I'm Lauren's husband."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Green," said Dianna, taking off one of her gloves and extending her hand, which Ryan shook with a smile.

"The pleasure is all mine and I'm glad to hear that your grandmother is feeling better," she said smiling at him without letting go of his hand. "And please can you call me Ryan."

"I think Mr. Green would be more appropriate," Dianna said shyly and Ryan just smiled, "If you'll allow me I'll get to work right away. I'm sorry I'm so late, but it's very complicated to get here."

"Of course," Ryan smiled. "Please let me help you with your coat," he said chivalrously.

Dianna smiled at him and Ryan helped her take off her coat, she was dressed very comfortably for work. Ryan could admit that she was a beautiful woman.

"In that case I can give you a tour of the house" at that moment they heard Jason's footsteps coming out of the kitchen and he was surprised to see Dianna next to Ryan.

"Well..." Jason said, smiling. "What do we have here? You have good taste, Green."

"This is Dianna," Ryan said seriously. "She's Sonia's granddaughter and she's coming to help us."

"She can help me all she wants," Jason laughed and walked over.

Dianna smiled uncomfortably while Ryan simply shook his head at his friend.

"Jason Duval," he extended his hand and Dianna shook it briefly.

"Very nice to meet you, sir," she said briefly.
