She maintained a composed facade. "No worries, I'm driving."

Sanford gave her a look and quietly took the keys from her.

“Miss Angie, just back from overseas, you're not about to confuse the gas and brake, are you? I'm rather keen on staying alive, not eager to check out early."

Maggie's cheeks flushed at the implication behind Sanford's remarks.

Of course, she still knew how to drive. She had been abroad for only six months.

However, she chose not to retort and got into the car without a word as he opened the passenger seat door for her.

Meanwhile, Brian buckled his seatbelt and helped Rosalynn with hers in their car before starting the engine.

Watching Sanford and Maggie enter the other car in the rearview mirror, Rosalynn asked, "Honey, do you think there's a chance of those two getting back together?"

"You don't think there is?" Brian asked back with a raised eyebrow.

Rosalynn fell silent. Of course, she thought Maggie and Sanford could give their relationship another shot.

Those two clearly still had feelings for each other.

She had to wait and see if giving them alone time together would help sort their feelings out. And she hoped for a positive upshot from them after today.

In the other car, Sanford started the engine and shadowed Brian's car while Maggie sat silently in the passenger seat.

Although she looked composed, she was internally in turmoil. Her mind was racing with conflicting thoughts as she looked out the car window.

The ray of the setting sun reflected on her face, casting a halo of light on her side profile.

When Sanford glanced at her, he paused momentarily, remembering the girl she once was with the expression she wore.

The timid and lovely girl he had fallen in love with, who always had her eyes on him and swore to never Leave.

But all of that changed and disappeared after that day...

Recalling how Maggie left without a word, Sanford's expression darkened.

Breaking the silence, he asked, “Isn't there anything you want to say to me?"
