Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right

eing she was starting to piece it together, I nodded. "Exactly. Want to know who he likes?"

Yuna shook her head. "This was the first time I even saw him. How would I know?"

"It's Dr. Lane," I revealed.

Her eyes grew even wider for a second, but then I saw it-the sparkle in them started to fade, dimming as the reality hit her.

Yuna leaned her head on my shoulder and sighed. "No wonder a famous doctor like him came personally to check on me. It was because of his girlfriend." We sat quietly for a moment, both staring out the window. I decided to fill her in. "Dr. Lane's had feelings for Prof. Neumann since they were in school. +25 BONUS

"She worked so hard to get into the same medical program just to be close to him.

"Everything she's accomplished today-It's all because of that love."

Yuna listened carefully, then exclaimed, "And he never knew? How could Dr. Lane keep quiet for so long? If you love someone, you have to say it out loud!"

"Exactly," I said. "I encouraged her to confess, but she never did. Prof. Neumann just happened to overhear our conversation, so now he knows about her feelings."

I glanced at Yuna, watching her process that before teasing, "And guess what? I saw the same look in Prof. Neumann's eyes when he was looking at Dr. Lane-the same sparkle you had when you were staring at him earlier."

Her face turned bright red. "Keira, stop! I get it. I won't like Prof. Neumann anymore," she muttered, then added, "But he really is the most handsome man I've ever met... well, except for Hayden."

I laughed at her quick save. "Yes, except for Hayden."

"You can only like Hayden, Yuna reminded me again, her voice full of concern, like she thought I might change my mind at any second

I patted her head, smiling.n't worry. Hayden and I still have to give you a baby to spoil, remember?"

Her face lit up. "Are you really going to have a baby with him?"

I couldn't help but laugh at her excitement. "Yep, and hopefully, we'll have a little girl as beautiful as you."

"Twins would be even better!" Yuna added, getting way too carried away.

*Sure, if he's up for the challenge," I teased just as Hayden's tall figure appeared in the doorway.

Yuna's eyes flicked to him. "Hayden, did you hear that? Keira said-"

"I heard," Hayden cut in, his eyes locked right on me.

I froze.
