Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 21

Eileen came out of the shower to find the room empty. She didn’t think much of it and went straight to blow–dry her hair and hit the hay

Not long after, Phyllis and Bblythe came back. Bblythe, seeing Eileen asleep, lowered her voice. To her surprise, Phyllis made quite a ruckus, especially when she closed the door Bblythe whispered, “Eileen is asleep”

“Enough already” Bblythe had a headache. “Keep it down and go to sleep.”
