Upon entering Sanfordâs apartment, Maggie switched on the lights.
As she surveyed the empty space, a wave of loneliness washed over her unexpectedly.
It had only been a few days since she met Sanford, yet she had grown accustomed to his presence.
She had grown accustomed to his embrace each night.
She had grown accustomed to pleasing and satisfying him.
Sitting on the sofa, Maggie retrieved her phone, hesitating for a moment before sending a message to Sanford.
âHave you arrived?â
But as soon as she hit send, Maggie swiftly withdrew the message.
It seemed suspicious to inquire about his whereabouts, as if she were checking up on him.
After all, they were not in a serious relationship.
She should patiently await his attention and avoid prying into his movements.
Maggie felt a tightness in her chest, and just as she was about to step into the shower, her phone began to ring.
It was Sanford calling.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she cleared her throat before answering the call.
âSanford.
â
âWhat message did you send earlier? Why did you withdraw it?â Sanford asked gently.
Maggie bit her lip.
âItâs nothing.
â
âWhat did you send?â Sanford inquired once more.
âOh, I just wanted to know if you had arrived,â Maggie hastily replied, afraid that he might grow impatient.

Maggie nodded obediently, though he couldnât see her.
There was a brief silence on the phone, during which their shallow breaths became audible.
Suddenly, both of them found themselves at a Loss for words.
Maggie tightened her grip on the phone.
âWell, take care of yourself.
Donât overexert or drink too much.
