Thomas Payin looked at Paige's wrist as he spoke. ''Does this boy like my little girl or what? Why would he do this to a pretty little thing like you?''
''Dad, don't curse me. I will be the unluckiest woman if that bratty Royal Highness takes a liking to me. Are we in high school that boys bully the girls that they like?'' Paige said and frowned.
''Then why did he pour hot coffee on you? Guys who don't have the guts to confess always do that. Now my daughter is in pain. Should I go and teach him some manners at school?'' Thomas Payin said and they laughed. The doorbell rang and they looked at each other.
''Dad, are you expecting someone?'' Paige asked her father.
'"No. are you expecting someone?'' Thomas Payin asked back and Paige shook her head.
''Carlien is coming over but she won't knock if she is the one'' Paige said.
