Hospital III

Jeffery pulled Madison into one of the female toilets and pressed her gently against the wall, his touch urgent yet cautious.

"Why are we here?" Madison's voice held a mixture of confusion and concern.

"I just thought we could use some privacy," Jeffery whispered, his breath warm against her ear.

"I just felt we needed to give Susie, Dunice, and Alex some privacy. it might be hard to have a real conversation if we were there," Jeffery said in a low tone.

Madison nodded slowly, beginning to understand his motive, but she couldn't help but protest, "We could've stayed in the waiting room, though. Why the ladies' room?"

Jeffery's gaze softened, his fingers tracing the curve of her cheek. "Because I want us to have our own space here," he murmured, his voice barely audible.

Madison's heart raced as Jeffery's touch grew bolder, his hands moving to lift her gown.
