"Rosalynn, why don't I stay with you tonight?" Maggie suggested, her face filled with concern when they entered the elevator.

Rosalynn managed a weak smile as she replied, "No, thanks. I just want to be alone."

At that moment, all she craved was solitude, a quiet space to sort through her tangled emotions.

Maggie glanced at Sanford, silently seeking his opinion. Sanford shook his head slightly, indicating that it was up to Rosalynn.

The trio continued their journey in silence.

Upon reaching the 27th floor, Rosalynn waved goodbye to her friends and stepped out of the elevator.

Inside her apartment, she closed the door and surveyed the empty room.

The sight brought tears to her eyes once more.

The painful reality of a life lost weighed heavily on her being.

She took a shower in a daze and crawled into the bed. Although she was tired, she couldn't fall asleep.

As she drifted in and out of consciousness, she thought she heard a faint knock on her door.

With a pounding headache, Rosalynn struggled to pull herself out of bed and made her way to the door.

Peering through the peephole, her chaotic thoughts suddenly snapped into focus when she saw Brian standing on the other side.

He came back?

Although he had only been gone for a few short days, it felt like an eternity.

Brian was still as handsome as ever. However, when she saw him, she didn't feel as happy as she did before.

Rosalynn paused for a moment, battling her inner turmoil before finally gathering herself. With a blank expression, she opened the door.

Brian had just stepped off the plane and appeared a bit tired.

He had returned to his own apartment, but not finding Rosalynn there, he assumed she must be at her place. So, he came to her door and attempted to unlock it with his fingerprint, only to discover that the lock had been changed.

This discovery angered him deeply.
