Since Celine had made her decision clear, everyone respected it and nodded in agreement. "Alright."
After leaving the hospital, Hailey and Aileen bid farewell to Celine. "Celine, I'll take Aileen home first. Let's meet up another time."
Celine nodded. "Sure."
Aileen waved. "See you, Celine."
Celine smiled. "Bye, Aileen."
Hailey and Aileen headed home, and on the way, Hailey asked, "Aileen, after hearing about Celine's situation, how do you feel about it?"
Aileen thought for a moment and said, "Celine's love life is so complicated. Is that what love is like for everyone?"
Having never been in a relationship herself, Aileen was curious.
Hailey thought of her own complicated relationship with Declan. Love was a mix of sweetness and heartache, laughter and tears. However, Hailey didn't want to overwhelm Aileen or make her fearful of love.
She chuckled. "It depends on the person. I'm sure you'll find someone who truly understands and cherishes you."
Aileen smiled but didn't seem very interested. "I think I'll be better off focusing on research."
Hailey laughed. Aileen was a true science and tech enthusiast. She seemed more interested in numbers and research than relationships.
Hailey took her hand and said, "You're all grown up now. It's time to enjoy your youth! Come on, I'm taking you out for some fun."
Aileen raised a brow. "Where exactly?"
Hailey smirked. "You'll find out soon enough."
