Layla: Em, my man/woman, are you seeing Ash tonight?
Em: Tonight? No, why?
Emmaline resisted the urge to bite her lip lest she ruin her make up before her scene.
The deadline that Aaron had set for her loomed closer with each passing day and Emmaline still had no idea how to hold him off.
So, yes, she had been avoiding Ashton just a little.
Guilt ran through her, thinking about how she was already draining him of money for her mother's treatment.
There was no chance in hell she was going to ask him for more.
Layla: what do you mean no?? You should! It's his birthday!
Emmaline nearly dropped her phone.
Ashton's birthday was today?
He hadn't said a word.
Emmaline had been so caught up in Aaron's words and her mother's recovery that she hadn't spoken to Ashton much in the past couple of days.
