Laura Lowell rose from her chair and cleared away both their dishes. "It's time for you to go, Dr. Shaw. I'm going to take a nap."
"But I haven't finished eating yet."
Aiden Shaw watched her and chuckled to himself. 'She's so cute, even when she's angry,' he thought.
Laura Lowell brought the dishes to the kitchen and glared at Aiden Shaw, pouting. "Perfect timing. Wasn't that other girl asking you to lunch? Go on, then. I won't see you out."
With that, she went into her bedroom, slamming the door shut with extra force.
Aiden Shaw rested one hand on the back of the chair, idly toying with his phone in the other. He then tapped out a few words on the screen and sent the message.
[Something came up last minute tonight, so I can't have dinner with you.]
He had just wanted to test her, to see if she would actually care about him having dinner with another woman.
