Reaching the private room, she pushed the door open, her anticipation palpable.

"Why do you say that?" she replied, her eyes wide in mock surprise.
"You wantedto misunderstand Sanford," Maggie said, her eyes narrowing.
She was certain Jaelyn had sent the message while Sanford was off guard.

"Sanford, why did you send that message to me?" she asked, hem voice trembling htly.
She had thought it was a date between her and Sanford, but now, seeing his ex-girlfriend here, she felt a cold dread creeping in.
