I stifled a laugh, putting on a helpless face. "But he's so good-looking! The first tI saw him, I was like, Wait, is this a doctor or did someone rip him straight out of a magazine?" "No way," Yuna clung to my arm, desperate. "Sure, he's good-looking, but if you look closely, he's not as handsas Hayden.

"And most importantly? Hayden's honest and genuine-unlike this doctor." I raised an eyebrow, totally amused. "Oh? Prof. Neumann's not genuine? How can you tell? Yuna pouted and shook my arm back and forth. "You can't like anyone other than my brother. You're his." This girl had a serious ser f loyalty.
"You're a believer in that one true love, ride-or-die kind of romance, huh?" I teased. I knew exactly where she got it from-those romance she devoured.
In those stories, no matter what or obstacles the characters face, readers always want them to end up together. And Yuna, with her head full of those romantic fantasies, probably dreamed of that kind of love too- where the main characters are destined for each other, no exceptions.
"Exactly!" Yuna nodded, dead serious. "So, you and Hayden? That's it. You're not allowed to like anyone else." "Prof. Neumann already has someone he likes," I said, gently steering the conversation. "If you like him, you'd either have to hope they don't end up together, or you'd be stuck as the second lead, dealing with unrequited love just like in those ," Yuna's eyes widened in shock. "He has a girlfriend?" Before I could even answer, she kept going. "Well, I guess that makes sense. A guy as handsand. charming as him, of course, he'd have someone.
Seeing she was starting to piece it together, I nodded. "Exactly. Want to know who he likes?" Yuna shook her head. "This was the first tI even saw him. How would I know?" "It's Dr. Lane," I revealed.

Yuna leaned her head on my shoulder and sighed. "No wonder a famous doctor like him cpersonally 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 smedical 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 slook in Prof. Neumann's eyes when he was looking at Dr. Lane-the ssparkle 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 handsman I've ever met... well, except for Hayden." I laughed at her quick save. "Yes, except for Hayden." "You can only like Hayden, Yuna remindedagain, 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' tallfigure 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.
