I promise to treat you well.

The man looked obviously disdainful.
Maggie bit her lip and said bravely, âWe are just sleeping together.

Her words seemingly took Sanford aback, his facial expression shifting subtly.
He squinted at her, asking, âWhatâs gotten into you today?â
Maggie merely hung her head in silence.

Raising her eyes slightly, Maggie replied, âI just think that weâre bound to drift apart eventually.
I donât want to depend too much on you.

Sanford stared at her and asked, âDid you fall in love with me?â
A sudden jolt of surprise made Maggieâs heart race, compelling her to cast her gaze downward.
âNo.

The gentle timbre of his voice was as compelling as a sirenâs song, drawing her in without effort.
Maggie blinked, summoning the courage to shake off his hold.
