Maggieâs cheeks flushed at the implication behind Sanfordâs remarks.
Of course, she still knew how to drive.
She had been abroad for only six months.
However, she chose not to retort and got into the car without a word as he opened the passenger seat door for her.
Meanwhile, Brian buckled his seatbelt and helped Rosalynn with hers in their car before starting the engine.
Watching Sanford and Maggie enter the other car in the rearview mirror, Rosalynn asked, âHoney, do you think thereâs a chance of those two getting back together?â
âYou donât think there is?â Brian asked back with a raised eyebrow.
Rosalynn fell silent.
Of course, she thought Maggie and Sanford could give their relationship another shot.
Those two clearly still had feelings for each other.
She had to wait and see if giving them alone time together would help sort their feelings out.
And she hoped for a positive upshot from them after today.
In the other car, Sanford started the engine and shadowed Brianâs car while Maggie sat silently in the passenger seat.
Although she looked composed, she was internally in turmoil.
Her mind was racing with conflicting thoughts as she looked out the car window.
The ray of the setting sun reflected on her face, casting a halo of light on her side profile.
When Sanford glanced at her, he paused momentarily, remembering the girl she once was with the expression she wore.
The timid and lovely girl he had fallen in love with, who always had her eyes on him and swore to never Leave.
But all of that changed and disappeared after that dayâ¦
Recalling how Maggie left without a word, Sanfordâs expression darkened.
Breaking the silence, he asked, âIsnât there anything you want to say to me?â
His unexpected question made Maggie tense up.
She fidgeted with her fingers, hesitating.
Straightening up, she tentatively asked, âSo, youâre getting married?â
Sanford pressed his lips together, his grip on the stirring wheel tightening.
Was that all she wanted to say after six months? Shouldnât she at least apologize to him? It turned out she hadnât considered her mistake enough to feel sorry.
Sanford scoffed.
âWhat? Are you going to congratulate me?â
Maggie bit her lower Lip, hesitating.
After a moment, she said, âMillie is not the right girl for you.
â
Taken aback by her words, Sanford almost swiveled the stirring wheel in the opposite direction.
