The harsh light made her instinctively recoil, shielding her eyes with her hand. She squinted slightly, propping herself up on the bed, and peered through her fingers. That’s when she noticed Tyler standing in front of her, looking a bit puzzled.
Tyler had a touch of confusion on his face as he asked, "Hey, are you okay?"
Seeing the broken glass on the floor, he grabbed a broom from the doorway and cleaned it up. Then, he poured a fresh glass of water and handed it to Jasmine, who still seemed a bit rattled.
He had no idea what was going on with Jasmine.
“Do you want some water?” Tyler asked, trying to be patient.
Jasmine took the glass, letting the warm water soothe her throat, bringing a much-needed sense of relief.
She shared the story about the shadowy figure she’d seen earlier, and Tyler’s expression turned serious. He moved to the window, opened it, and looked down at the dimly lit street below. They were up on the fourth floor; if someone had tried to climb up, he would’ve noticed.
He saw several large trees outside the hospital and thought maybe what Jasmine saw was just a shadow from the streetlights.
“There was no one there. You must've been mistaken. The party’s over, and you’ve been through a lot. Just rest,” Tyler reassured her, pulling up a chair beside her. “I’ll stay here with you. Just relax.”
Jasmine’s cheeks turned a bright shade of red. She already had feelings for Tyler, and his words made her heart flutter. She nodded shyly, biting her lip. “Okay.”
Her heart was full of happiness, and she carefully peeked at Tyler through her half-closed eyes. Tyler was lost in a book, but sensing her gaze, he glanced at her and gave a soft smile. “It’s late. You should get some sleep.”
To make her more comfortable, Tyler turned off the main lights, leaving just a small, cozy lamp on. In this soft glow, Jasmine admired Tyler’s handsome face, her heart pounding.
