Just then, Jill's phone lit up-Cameron was calling.
She blinked in surprise before answering with a sharp tone.

“Cameron, you've got guts! Ignoring my calls and texts like that—are we done being friends or what?”
“No,” Cameron replied instantly.
Jill, even angrier after hearing his denial, raised her voice.
“Then what's with the disappearing act? | already explained! My roommate draggedto a basketball game,
and | forgot about our movie plans for a minute. That's on me. | even promised to make it up to you with three
more movies! What else do you want? Why are you so hung up on this? | honestly don’t get what you're mad
about!”
While Jill rattled on, Sloane took the opportunity to slip back into the bedroom, quietly shutting the door behind
her to block out the noise from the living room.
Lucas was still lying on his stomach, right where she left him.

She quickly began removing the needles, explaining as she worked,
“Jill's here. Get dressed and lie low for a bit.”
Lucas raised a brow. “Lie low?”
Sloane rolled her eyes. Trust him to get picky at a tlike this. Still, to avoid Jill's inevitable questions, she
chose to pacify him.
“Dear Mr. Hawthorne, please endure this minor inconvenience for now, okay?”
Lucas wanted to say there was no need for secrecy-they were legally engaged, after all.
But watching this version of Sloane-flustered and awkward-he couldn't help teasing her.
“And what if | say no?”
Sloane didn’t hesitate. In the next second, she lunged forward, pushing Lucas down against the
bed.

“I'll knock you out and shove you under the bed,” she growled.

The scene was undeniably suggestive: her on top, him below, and the only thing covering him was a bath towel.
Lucas stared up at her flushed face, those fiercely bright eyes sparking with frustration. His heart skipped a beat.
This version of Sloane-emotional, fiery-actually looked her age. Not the calm, distant girl she usually was.
He stayed still beneath her grip, completely unfazed.
“Get offso | can get dressed.”
That was when Sloane finally realized their position. She shot him a glare before climbing off with a grumble.
“Keep quiet,” she warned before leaving the room.
Lucas sat up, pulling on his clothes with a faint smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
“Yes, ma'am.”
Sloane, on the other hand, was mortified. She didn’t notice the slight redness lingering beneath Lucas’s hair.
Back in the living room, Jill's mood had clearly lifted. “Okay, fine! | forgive you. Tomorrow, we're definitely
watching that movie.”
“Alright.” Cameron's voice remained as gentle as ever.
Jill hung up, now humming happily. When she saw Sloane reappear, she announced, “Sloane, it’s so late. I'm
crashing here tonight.”
Sloane couldn't find a reason to refuse, “Sure. You can take the master bedroom.”
She sat down beside Jill and asked, “So, you and Cameron made up?”
Jill grabbed sdried mango from the table, “Yeah. He apologized.”
Sloane nodded knowingly. This clearly wasn’t the first tCameron had done that.

When she returned to the room, Lucas was fully dressed, sitting quietly with a book in hand.
