Yuna nodded, then went on. "Keira, it's wild, but I actually do like snooker now. | never cared about it before, but
suddenly, it's fun. And it's not just that... ever since my surgery, my tastes in food, my opinions, even some
random preferences-they've all shifted." She looked at me, eyes wide with curiosity. "Do you think it's because of
the heart | received? | read somewhere that organ transplants can bring sof the donor's habits along with
them." Her face was all lit up, hoping | had an answer.
I'd heard stories like that on TV, and even if science says it's a stretch, there are plenty of stories that make you
wonder. Speople even say their taste in food changes after a liver transplant, like suddenly craving spicy
stuff they couldn't stand before. "Maybe," | replied, glancing at her chest, where a stranger's heart was now
beating.
"Oh, we got off track," she realized, shaking her head. "We were talking about Hayden, right? Keira, | know he's
keeping an eye on you, no matter how distant he acts." Yuna's voice was so sure.
| couldn't stop thinking about that news report from earlier-about Bruno winding up in the hospital. And the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtkicker? The "accident" involved a snooker ball.
If someone wanted to hurt him, there were a hundred other ways to do it. But a snooker ball? It had to be tied to
last night, when Bruno had calledhis "snooker girl" and thrown down a challenge. So... was it Hayden who'd
handled him?
Without thinking, | shot a text to Ron: [Was last night's incident with that Bruno guy Hayden's doing?]
His reply cfast: [Who else would it be?]
Then, before | could even blink, he unsent it and typed something new: [I'm not really sure. You could ask him
yourself]
| let out a dry laugh and turned my phone off.
"I don't get all the details with you and Hayden," Yuna said, her voice soft but steady. "But | know he loves you."
She paused, then added gently, "Do you want to tellwhat happened?"
| sighed. "My thing with Hayden? Yeah, it's... complicated. There are parts | can't even wrap my head around."
Like his dad's part in my parents’ accident. He caused it, sure, but was it really all about money?
"If it'll help you two get back together," Yuna said, her face earnest, "I'll tell you everything | know."
| paused, considering. "Ten years ago, you must've been around eight or nine. You should remember sstuff.
Back then, was your family struggling for money? Like, desperate?"
Yuna shook her head right away. "Nope, we weren't rich, but we were doing fine. My dad had a steady job driving
for sbusinessman, and we lived pretty comfortably-especially compared to other families around. Skids
were even jealous of me." Thorsten had claimed Hayden's dad was paid to do it. But if they weren't hurting for
cash, why would he

go after my parents?
And it didn't make sense. My parents had been close enough with his dad for Hayden to hang out at my place all
the time. So, if Hayden's dad actually took money to hurt them, only to end up dead himself... there had to be
more.

Yuna's answer leftback at square one. I'd thought Hayden's dad was desperate for money for Yuna's
treatments or surgent expense. But clearly, | was wrong.
Yuna looked at me, confused. "Why are you asking all this?"
| couldn't tell her the real reason, so | just kept digging. "Do you remember anything weird happening around
then?"
She thought for a second. "Actually, yeah. It involved Hayden."
My eyes widened. "Wait-Hayden?"
She nodded. "That was the year he went missing."
