How could he be so indifferent towards his beloved ex-girlfriend?
âI need to use the restroom,â Sanford stated after finalizing their order.
âAlright,â Maggie replied, though Sanford didnât head towards the bathroom within the private room; instead, he exited the room.
Was he going to meet Jaelyn?
âMaggie, whoâs Jaelyn?â Bart inquired after Sanfordâs departure, breaking his silence.
âHis ex-girlfriend,â Maggie responded.
Bartâs eyes widened with realization.
âNo wonder.
â
Maggie glanced at him, curiosity in her eyes.
âNo wonder what?â
âI just get this feeling that when he looks at her, heâs somehow changed,â Bart mused, scratching his head thoughtfully.
Maggie stared at him intently, her interest piqued.
âWhatâs the difference?â
âIâm not sure.
ALL I know is that heâs not the same,â Bart replied, his inexperience in matters of the heart making it difficult for him to articulate his feelings.
A brief silence enveloped them as Maggie pondered his words.
Then, out of nowhere, she asked, âBart, do you think sheâs more beautiful than me?â
Bart gazed at Maggie, contemplating for a moment.
âNah, I donât think so.
But sheâs got a good temperament, Iâ11 give her that.
â
The implication hung in the air; Jaelynâs temperament clearly surpassed her own.

Maggie nodded, her eyes cast downward.
âGuys must be into her.
â
A tinge of dejection colored her expression.
Bart scratched his head âMaggie, do you feel inferior? Donât put yourself down.
Youâre beautiful too.
Otherwise, why would Sanford fall for you?â
His words held truth.
Maggie tilted her head, locking eyes with him.
âThen why do you think Iâm beautiful?â
After a few seconds, Bart scratched his head and blurted out, âYouâre simple and pure, gentle and kind.
â
Maggie was at a loss for words.
Did he genuinely believe she was beautiful?
âBart, just say it straight-Iâm a country bumpkin, right?â
