The truth was that Horace had cheated during his marriage, leading both his wife and mistress to be pregnant simultaneously. It was Horace who was at fault, yet Kira remained unable to move on from him. Kira was so stubborn.

"Is Kira still in Mathias?" Sabrina asked.

“I've arranged for her to be sent back to Hoijery. Royce is going to have her visa blocked, preventing her return." Kira had opted for a change in nationality.

“That's for the best," Sabrina agreed. Kira had enough money to enjoy life overseas without ever needing to return.

Tyrone didn't respond.

The noise of the water drowned out other sounds.

After rinsing off a few times, Sabrina turned the shower off.

Wrapping herself in a bath towel, she was startled by a soft sound from her phone.

Thinking she'd heard wrong, Sabrina kept drying off.

“Are you done with your shower?" Tyrone's raspy voice came through the phone.

“Tyrone, what's going on?" Sabrina paused, puzzled.

“Can't you guess?"

"You..." Feeling awkward, Sabrina blurted out, “I'm going to hang up now!"

“Wait! Tyrone called out to stop her."

“Is there something else?"

"Do you want to try it?"

Tyrone left his sentence hanging, but Sabrina got the message loud and clear. Her cheeks flushed a bright red. She wished she didn't understand it. The blame fell squarely on Tyrone and Bettie. They had introduced her to something she shouldn't know.

Even without seeing Sabrina, Tyrone could picture the look on Sabrina's face. Despite her protests, he believed she was curious. He allowed himself a quiet smile and whispered, "You're curious, aren't you?"

“I'm not..."

"I know what you're feeling... Now, gently place your hands on your chest."
