The future held its secrets close.

Lost in thought, Rosalynn steered the car toward Maggie's neighborhood.

This was Rosalynn's first visit here.

Taking in the run-down surroundings, her face wrinkled in a frown.

“Maggie, you live here?"

With a smile, Maggie replied, “Rosalynn, you haven't seen my new digs since I moved. Come on in and have a seat."

"Alright."

Rosalynn didn't decline. She parked the car and stepped out.

As the two entered the community, Maggie couldn't help but glance over her shoulder.

“Hey, Maggie, what's caught your eye?" Rosalynn asked curiously.

Maggie shrugged, her gaze lingering.

“Oh, nothing much. Lately, I've had this feeling like someone's been tailing me. Maybe Sanford spooked me the last time."

Hearing this, Rosalynn raised an intrigued eyebrow.

"What do you mean? Did Sanford pay you a visit?"

"Yeah." Maggie nodded.

“Why did he show up? Did he say anything?"

Could it be that Sanford couldn't shake off his feelings for Maggie and wanted to make amends? Rosalynn wondered.

“I'm not sure why he came. He just wanted me to explain my relationship with Jeffry," Maggie explained with a smile.

Rosalynn squinted, her eyes narrowing.

“He wanted you to explain? So he thought you were fooling around with Jeffry?"

"Yes. While he was away on a business trip, someone sent him a bunch of photos showing me and Jeffry together. Around that time, my brother had some trouble, and Jeffry stepped in to help. I thanked him by inviting him to dinner," Maggie recounted, leaving no details out.

“So, Sanford assumed you were cheating on him and ended things?"
