"Lie down. Letlisten," Keith said as he took the stethoscope from around his neck.
We all watched anxiously. Even Brandon, who usually remained calm under pressure, was visibly tense. However, this was just a check-up, not a surgery.
I saw once again how much he cherished her. I reached out and held his hand. He turned to look at me, and I gave him a reassuring nod.

I noticed her cheeks had turned red, like the flowers blooming in her little garden. My heart tightened as I looked into her eyes, which sparkled brighter than ever.

Keith standing there was enough to make Ellie's heart flutter.
However, it was impossible for her and Keith to be together. I didn't think this because Lisa also liked him! e Rather, Nwas worried that Ellie might affect Lisa's love life. I had already seen in Keith's eyes the feelings he had for Lisa. Even though nothing had developed between them yet, it didn't mean it won't.

I pouted playfully. "It's because he's good-looking, right? I think so Fight? I think sa too! Just looking at him is a real treat. I like X
