Working with Jayden wasn't easy.
He was unpredictable. One day he'd show up and actually help. The next, he'd disappear completely.
But when he did show up… something changed.
He wasn't just the "bad boy" everyone talked about.
He listened.
He noticed things.
"You overthink a lot," he told her one afternoon.
"And you don't think enough," she shot back.
He laughed.
And somehow… that laugh stayed in her mind longer than it should have.
