Cameron opened the messenger app and read the message: “Cameron, are you free tomorrow?”
“I am, what’s up?” Cameron replied succinctly.
“That’s great!” Tara responded with a joyful emoji.
Cameron raised an eyebrow. Feeling uneasy, he quickly sent a “?” back.
He felt that whenever Tara sought him out, it rarely boded well. Previously, she wanted him as a test subject and, another time, to pretend to be her boyfriend at a party hosted by Kelvin.
“What now? I haven’t even told you why I looked for you,”
Tara replied, sending a cute emoji.
“Just spit it out… What is it this time?” Cameron responded with a heavier tone.
Indeed, Tara needed Cameron’s help again. Sensing his wariness, she thought it better to speak in person tomorrow to avoid an immediate refusal.
So, she used an excuse Cameron couldn’t reject. “If you’re free tomorrow, I could really use your help with my grandfather’s illness.”
He thought it was about Dylan. He breathed a sigh of relief. “Okay, no problem.”
“Hehe, that’s great. Could you maybe come a bit earlier?” she asked.
“Are you in a hurry, doctor?”
“Um… A little.”
“Is there a problem with your grandfather?”
“No, my grandfather is fine.”
“Then why do you seem so urgent?”
“Do I? Maybe I just really want my grandfather to be discharged from the hospital soon.”
“Alright then,” Cameron replied before asking another question. “Are you sure there’s nothing else you need from me?”
