After wrapping up the car purchase, Sanford decided it was time for a celebratory dinner.
âBart, steer the new ride and tail me; weâre hitting Atera Restaurant,â
Sanford proposed.
âSounds like a plan,â Bart replied, the excitement in his eyes unwavering.
He hopped in the driverâs seat of the fresh-off-the-lot car and tagged along behind Sanford.
As Maggie reclined in the passenger seat next to Sanford, she found it more relaxing to ride shotgun than take the wheel herself.
The thought of owning such a high-end car seemed somewhat pointless; she would only drive if absolutely necessary.
Lost in her thoughts, Maggieâs attention was captured by Sanfordâs voice resonating from his phone call.
âI need a selection of fashionable apparel, shoes, and bags suited for young ladies, and clothes and shoes for a boy around eighteen.
Get them sent to my apartment.
â
Maggieâs surprise gave way to curiosity.
Once Sanford ended his call, she asked, âAre you buying clothes for Bart and me?â
âIndeed,â Sanford replied.
Maggie fiddled with her fingers, her gaze dropping.
âIâm really sorry about what happened at the shop, Sanford.

His hand radiated warmth, comforting to the touch.
Maggie looked up at him, gratitude in her eyes
âSanford, thank you,â she said, her heart brimming with a happiness she had never known before.
âIn that case, how about taking good care of me tonight?â he proposed, an teasing glint in his eyes.
Maggieâs cheeks warmed and she nodded.
âOkay.
â
Sanfordâs chuckle filled the car as he saw her compliance.
He reached over to ruffle her hair, fondly calling her a silly girl.
His voice was Laced with affection.
Looking down, Maggie resolved to give her all, to be the best version of herselfâfor him.
