Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

My mouth was faster than my brain-again. Ugh, such a problem.

The second the words left my lips, I realized how inappropriate they sounded.

That feeling passed fast, and I cleared my throat, trying to get back on track. "Has your sister seen any doctors? If she has medical records, send them to me. I know some people who could help." "Sure," he agreed.

With nothing left to say, I stood up. "Thanks for today. I should get going."

Hayden looked at me. "If you start feeling sick again, call me."

"Will do," I replied with a smile, turning away and letting out a quiet sigh of relief.
