A blush crept across her cheeks. “You're shameless, just making excuses to mess around. So creative of you.”
“Be good and open up, honey. | really want you,” Jayden urged, turning on the bedside light.
A few days later, Aileen received a message from her father informing her that her date was paying a visit. She
needed to leave school early and wait at home.
The message left her stunned.

thoughts.
Erica approached, noticed Aileen’s downcast expression, and asked with genuine concern, “Why are you so
upset?”
“My date is coming to my house for dinner today,” Aileen confessed, her voice laced with unhappiness. “He

mentioned.”
“Peyton Ellis?” Aileen stammered, her lips trembling with shock.

Peyton stood and addressed her formally. “I'm sorry, Miss Lawrence. I've been overwhelmingly busy with
surgeries. The hospital underwent reorganization recently, so | now have a bit more free time. Nice to finally
