Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 590

The phone rang a few times before Geneva picked up. Her voice floated through the speaker, "Aaliyah? You didn't leave?"

"Yep," I replied, trying to sound downcast, "Didn't work out. You free today?"

Geneva drew out a long okay then said, "Spill it. I had a little something lined up, nothing major, and I can ditch it."

"What time's your thing?" I probed.

"Been feeling off lately, booked a doc to get checked out," Geneva confessed, "Thinking it might be menopause kicking in."

My heart tightened, “Feeling off?”

My mind raced, but I kept my tone steady, "Come on. You're too young for the change. What's this feeling off about? Listen, how about I tag along? Let Hannah drive us, and it'll be easier. I've got nothing on today, feeling kind of blocked up inside. We could use each other's company."

"That'd be awesome, thanks to Hannah," Geneva's voice brightened.

She'd always thought highly of Hannah, so yesterday's drama had Hannah tied up in knots too.

"What time's your appointment? Hannah's just finishing up breakfast. We can head out once she's done. Wait for us at home," I laid out the plan to Geneva.

"9 AM."

Perfect timing and Hannah had just finished her breakfast and came out.

"Get ready then. She's done eating, and we'll be right over," I told Geneva and hung up.

"Hold on, and let me grab some stuff upstairs, then we can leave for Geneva's," I said to Hannah.

She paused, clearly confused because she hadn't come downstairs the night before and was out of the loop on the task Ronan had given me.

I dashed upstairs, changed into a skirt, grabbed my bag, and hurried back down.

Ronan was heading out too and lit up when he saw me, "Heading out now?"

"Geneva's got an appointment with a doctor, and I'm keeping her company," I reported.

He nodded, "After the doctor, take her to Hilltop Retreats. I've got the chef on standby. It's a quiet spot with convenient eats."

Joy bubbled up inside me, and my voice couldn't hide my delight, "Really?"

He cocked an eyebrow and shrugged nonchalantly.

I snapped my fingers, "Deal. I was just wondering where to go. You're a lifesaver."

"You're doing my bidding, and the least I can do is make sure you're sorted," Ronan flashed a pearly white grin, oozing charm.
