"What's the deal with the Woods? Last I checked, the Bryants and the Woods were close-it's not just an alliance; they're practically family. What's your secret agenda?" Shelly's eyes danced with mischief, her grin growing wider with every word.

"Your sister's been with the Woods for ages and still no son. The Bryant-Woods connection is hanging by a thread. Jasmine, are you planning to swoop in and take advantage? Don't do anything silly, okay?"

"Can you just zip it already?" Jasmine finally snapped. She was at her wit's end with Shelly's endless prattle.

"Did I strike a nerve?" Shelly teased, refusing to let up.

Jasmine grabbed the bandage from Shelly, holding one end between her teeth as she tied a knot over her cut. Once done, she wasted no time in shoving Shelly out.

But Shelly wasn't one to give up easily. She wedged her foot in the door, grinning cheekily. "So, what's up with you and Tyler? Got a thing for him? If not, I sure do. If you're not keen, let me take a shot."

Jasmine slammed the door shut with a bang, cutting Shelly's words off mid- banter.
