"Yeah, but not every t| wash my hair do | need a full shower," he shot back, makinglaugh even harder.
"Whatever, just hurry up before it's morning!" | shoved him toward the bathroom, half-worried he'd dragin
with him if | stalled too long.
On the surface, Hayden's the cool, restrained type-the guy who seems completely uninterested in women. But
