    Were they still in conflict? Had there been no reconciliation? She pondered.


    “Mr. Hughes, didn’t Rosalynn inform you I’m back in Wragos?” she inquired.


    For a moment, Brian was at a loss for words, eventually replying, “Okay.”


    Maggie tucked her phone away and returned her gaze to the window.


    The rest of the journey was enveloped in silence. After about thirty minutes, Karl arrived at the airport with Maggie.


    Taking her suitcase, Maggie addressed Karl, “You don’t need to apany me further. Thanks for your help today. Please, keep


    my destination today a secret.”


    Concerned by her swollen, tear-stained eyes, Karl couldn’t resist inquiring, “What’s going on, Maggie? Why this sudden trip


    abroad?”


    Maggie''s eyshes fluttered slightly as she bit her lip, responding, “Please don’t ask, Karl. Just... don’t tell anyone about where |


    am.”


    Karl sighed, understandingly nodding.


    “Alright. I''ve contacted a friend in Folkava. He''ll help you once you''re there.”


    Maggie’s smile conveyed her gratitude.

    Gazing at her fine features, Karl found himself saying, “If you’re truly thankful, why not let me look after you?”


    Maggie froze, her gaze fixed on Karl, a flicker of confusion in her eyes.


    “Karl, |...”


    She paused, questioning his intent.


    Was he implying he wanted her as more than a friend?


    Yet she saw him only as apanion.


    “Maggie, don’t overthink it. Consider me your closest friend. You can lean on me whenever you face any trouble.”


    Karl caught her evasive look and, sensing her hesitance, swiftly softened his approach.


    Clearly, he had been too forward.


    He risked driving her away.


    Awave of relief washed over Maggie.


    Her appreciation was immense, yet she struggled to express it.
