“We’re heading home for the New Year. If there’s any movement, we’ll come back,” Hayden said, explaining their situation to Aaron. He nodded at Keira from across Hayden and added, “Happy New Year.”

“He’s here to hand out bonuses. Lena will definitely run into him,” Keira said, before a thought struck her.” Hayden, do you think Aaron is so generous with this hospital because Lena works here?”

Hayden reached out and ruffled her hair. “Most pregnant women get dumber, but you’re only getting sharper.”
