“Yes,” Eric replied, his tone firm, one brow arching. “Tfor you to go.”
Megan gave a careless shrug, her smirk unwavering. “Fine, since you're really tied up. I'll swing by again soon.”
With a teasing wink at Eric, she added, “I'm into you, and | don’t back off easily.”
Megan turned and walked off without hesitation.
Eric stood there, momentarily stunned. What was her problem? She seemed determined to stir things up.
“Hadley, don't listen to her—"
“She’s not wrong, you know.” Hadley tilted her head slightly, her voice calm. “She likes you. She’s been trying to

“How was it?” Inside the car, Eric twisted off the cap of a water bottle and handed it to her. “Are you satisfied?”
“Yes.” Hadley nodded, taking a sip. She really was.
Eric saw the opening and went for it. “Then let’s move ahead with Joy’s enrollment, okay? She’s my daughter.
She deserves only the best.”
