After many rings, he finally picked up.
âHey, Maggie.
Whatâs going on? Why are you calling out of the blue?â
âLloyd, meet me at Tea Coffee at 5:30 tonight.
Thereâs something we need to discuss,â Maggie stated firmly.
âWhy canât we talk about it at home?â
âItâs very important.
Thatâs it.
Iâll see you later.
â
With that, Maggie ended the call.
Concerned for her friendâs safety, Rosalynn offered her support.
âIâLL go with you Later.
â
Grateful, Maggie nodded in agreement.
âThank you.
â
That evening, Rosalynn went with Maggie to Lloydâs rental apartment.
Maggie packed up all her personal belongings.
Then she threw the small, insignificant things she had bought into the trash bin.
After cleaning up, Maggie took one last look at the place, her eyes turning red with unshed tears.
She had built her hopes for their future in this tiny apartment.
They were supposed to spend the rest of their lives together.
It turned out that it was all wishful thinking and naivety on her part.

Rosalynn went over and held her while she wept.
Afterward, the women went to Tea Coffee.
They hung around and waited for a while, until Lloyd finally showed up.
He was sporting a white shirt and black suit pants.
He Looked decent enough.
Rosalynn glanced briefly at him and transferred to another table, giving the couple some privacy to talk.
âWhatâs the matter, Maggie? Why did you insist on meeting outside? I have to attend a dinner party after this, so hurry and tell me what happened.
â Lloyd sat on the chair across from Maggie, looking quite displeased.
Maggieâs fingers slowly curled into fists.
âLloyd, letâs break up.
â
Lloyd was in the process of pouring himself a glass of water.
He paused in the act, looked up at Maggie, and flashed her his usual lopsided smile.
âCome on, Maggie.
Itâs not April Foolsâ Day.
Stop joking around.
â
Maggie looked him dead in the eye and asked, âDo I look like Iâm joking?â
