Caught arriving late
Jackie was frustrated that Pipa had been home the day she arrived late. She had made plans for the day, but those had to be canceled because Pipa’s unexpected presence had ruined her plans. Jackie had hoped to keep her lateness unnoticed, but now, with Pipa catching her in the act, she knew that today wasn’t going to work out the way she had hoped.
Determined to make up for her mistake, Jackie decided to put in extra effort. She worked harder than usual, hoping that by doing so, Pipa would eventually forget about her tardiness. She knew it was her best chance to avoid further suspicion and keep things smooth between them.
