yes! it was ryan's grandfather's business so he basically working there before he even legally could. he was there until he left boston in 2005 and then came back in 2015 after his grandfather passed away and to everyone's surprise, left it in his will that ryan take over lover's lanes. she could have already been assistant manager then and really helped ryan not fall on his face or let the business go down in flames, or he could have given her the spot. i'm down for either! also i can make us a custom to talk more because there's plenty of people she'd know and i'd love for them to be close friends too so she can call him on his shit with no hard feelings about it because his life is full of women like that and he loves it.
