Sanford arched his eyebrows, his gaze piercing through Maggie.


    “You look like you’re on the brink of tears, and you call it nothing?”


    Maggie met his eyes, her voice tinged with longing.


    “I was just wishing I could bear your pain and injuries for you.”


    At her words, Sanford felt his heart soften, melting like wax under a gentle me.


    He reached out, his fingers grazing her cheek in a tender pinch, then teased, “If you bore my pain and injuries, would that mean you could boss me around as you please? I never knew you had such a wild streak.”


    His yful tone drew a smile from Maggie, who responded with a cheeky grin.


    “Yes, I’m that wild.


    Does it appeal to you?”


    “It appeals to me, and I adore you more than words can say!”


    Sanford’s words flowed with heartfelt sincerity.


    He cupped her face gently, pressing his lips to hers.


    Maggie’s cheeks flushed crimson, and she gave him a yful jab, evading his kiss.


    “Watch it! Rosalynn and the others are still around.”

    Rosalynn let out a soft, amusedugh, her eyes flickering toward Brian.


    Brian’s lips curled into a sly grin.


    “You know, seeing some public disys of affection really lifts the spirits.”


    Sanford’s voice cut through the chatter.


    “Did you catch that? Maggie,e over here.


    Let’s give them a bit more to watch.”


    Maggie rolled her eyes, replying, ” Stop it.”


    Sanford’s tone turned yful.


    “If you don’t want me to kiss you, then you can be the one to do it.”


    Maggie was at a loss for words.


    Rosalynn and Brian exchanged a quick, knowing smile as they watched the couple being sweet to each other.


    Sanford’s upbeat, sunny attitude was clear for everyone to see.


    Maggie’spany also assisted in easing his distress from his current paralysis.


    Seeing them in good spirits lifted a bit of the guilt that had weighed on Rosalynn and Brian.


    Shari stayed off to the side, her eyes narrowed, fingers gently curling.


    Her deliberate words aimed to incite animosity in Maggie towards Brian appeared unsessful.
