Brian gracefully presented a flute of champagne to Rosalynn, extending a warm welcome to the arriving guests.
âBrian, Rosalynn.
â
Approaching the duo, Sanford, with a glass of champagne in hand, joined the gathering.
Brian acknowledged the other attendees with a nod.
Holding Rosalynnâs waist, he walked toward Sanford.
At the sight of Sanford, Rosalynnâs thoughts inevitably turned to Maggie.

Nearly a month had passed since Maggie departed without a farewell, leaving Rosalynn uncertain about her friendâs current state.
Her gaze fixed upon Sanford, who cut a dashing figure in a silver-gray suit that exuded both elegance and style.
Yet, a shadow of melancholy seemed to cloak his otherwise beautiful eyes.
Despite his smile, there lingered a hint of perfunctoriness and cynicism, characteristic of someone deeply wounded in love.
By his side stood a woman donned in a pink evening gown, sporting a captivating smile.
Rosalynnâs brows furrowed as she recognized her- Millie Brooks!
She was Sanfordâs plus one.
Had Sanford reunited with her?
ââRosalynn, congratulations on your family reunion.
â
Sanford proposed a toast, clinking glasses with Rosalynn.
Returning to reality, Rosalynn reciprocated the gesture, expressing her gratitude.
âThank you.
â
âRosalynn, congratulations!â
Millie, standing alongside Sanford, forced a flattering smile and remarked, âThe first time I saw you, I sensed you were extraordinary.
Turns out, I was right.
You truly are exceptional.
â
The excessive flattery left Rosalynn slightly uneasy, given her clear recollection of Millieâs disdain for ordinary individuals Like herself and Maggie.
However, Rosalynnâs primary curiosity rested on her connection with Sanford.
Rosalynn regarded Sanford with a perplexed expression.
Nonchalantly toying with his glass, Sanford uttered in a chilly tone, âIncidentally, Millie and I are planning to get engaged early next month.
You both must join us for a celebratory toast at the engagement party.
