âHow much do they cost?â Maggie queried.
âOne hundred twenty-eight thousand.
â
The price tag sent a small jolt through Maggie.
It was within her budget if she added her savings to Sanfordâs gift, but it would leave her nearly broke.
âMaggie, if youâre short, I can Lend you some.
Pay me back whenever you can.
â
When Rosalynn saw Maggie hesitating, she quickly transferred fifty thousand into Maggieâs account.
A smile of gratitude spread across Maggieâs face.
âThank you, Rosalynn.
Iâll repay you as soon as Iâm able.
â
âNo rush.
I*m not strapped for cash,â Rosalynn assured her, her gaze lingering on a tie clip.
Knowing it was Sanfordâs birthday, it would be inconsiderate not to give him anything.
She decided to get the tie clip for him.
With their purchases in tow, they made their way back home.
Just as they were settling in, Rosalynnâs phone rang.
It was Brian.
âTodayâs Sanfordâs birthday.
Weâre celebrating at Royarid Club tonight.
IâLL come by and pick you up,â he informed her.
Brian exuded a certain gentleness, an indication of his good spirits.
âNo, thanks.
IâLL be going with Maggie,â Rosalynn responded.
âIs your refusal to let me pick you up due to a desire to keep our relationship under wraps?â Brian queried.
Rosalynn retorted, âDidnât we agree on this?â

âRosalynn, do you genuinely believe they are all oblivious?â Brian challenged.
âI couldnât care less.
I expect you to maintain a distance from me tonight.
â
She was convinced that as long as he didnât stir the pot, no one would suspect anything.
With a chuckle, Brian relented, âAlright, as you wish.
I suspect there might be some drinking tonight.
You may want to hail a cab.
â
âFine.
â
As she ended the call, Rosalynn noticed Maggieâs questioning gaze.
