Chapter 72: Layla

Last night after coming back from shopping with the girls, I went straight to my room with a headache. Amanda, Andrea, and Kerry parked themselves outside my room, and once I mentioned a headache, I was shuffled into bed with two painkillers and a damp cloth across my eyes.

I appreciated their attention, as it kept Jared away for a while. He wasn’t happy and had entered even as Kerry insisted I needed my rest.

"Is everything okay?" he asked.

I pressed the cloth against my eyes. "A headache. I suffer with them sometimes." It was easier to lie with the cotton cloth covering most of my face.

"Are you sure? What about dress shopping?" He shifted beside my bed.

"I got a dress."

He was silent, and I just wanted him to leave.
