Tangled Temptations

Chapter 53

Eloise's cheeks started to heat up. She called Michelle, letting her know she was about to visit her dad at the hospital. Unexpectedly, Michelle was quite adamant, saying, "I've got your dad covered here, you just started with Harvey, and you guys need to spend more time together." Eloise was taken aback.
