She froze. That was not what she meant at all. Kailey shot him a glare, her cheeks puffing up.
Kyson laughed, running his tongue briefly across his teeth, a mix of mischief and charm. “Relax, I’m joking. I still have work to finish. Go on and sleep p>

Kailey typed back, “What are you actually trying to say p>
“Nothing serious. I just wanted to apologize for acting impulsively before and upsetting you. Ryan will always treat you as his niece. Once I marry him, we’ll be family. I hope we can put the past aside and not let small issues affect us p>
