Mr and Mrs Yale believed that one of the two men who died was Donald. After the incident, Donald feared Melissa more. "There's something about that young lady that I don't know about.

She's either around to help or tell me when something bad is happening or about to happen," Donald thought to himself as he lay down on the bed in his room. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon, so he took out some time to rest.

After a while, he picked up his phone and began to dial a number. Within a short while, the phone was picked up at the other end. "Hey, Donald!" "Hi, Melissa!" Donald responded.

"How are you today?" Donald asked. "I'm fine. And you?' Melissa asked. "I'm fine too." "You promised to tell me that you would let me know how you got to know that something bad would happen along Boulelings road," Donald said.

    The Yales had already begun to suspect that Donald was not killed. Betty remembered that anytime someone died in her family, they always called for a meeting. She didn't take cognizance of that the last time, if not she would have known that Donald was still alive. All this while, she had been expecting that they called a meeting, or better still, they called her about Donald's death, but it never happened that way. No one called her. So she decided to speak with her husband about it. "I doubt if Donald is dead. Because if he is, I'm sure someone would have called me from the family to tell me about it. Let us make our findings correct. Donald is not dead," Betty told her husband. "But do you think that the assassins would be lying to me? They said they compared the person in the picture to who they were seeing before they killed him. Those guys are very experienced, so they don't do a stupid job," Rick told his wife. "Wait, why should we even act like confused people? Why can't w

    One evening, as Amelia and Suzy sat in the Williams living room, sipping tea, Suzy opened up about her doubts regarding Scott, her suitor."Amelia," she began hesitantly, "I'm just not sure about Scott. He's so different from the guys I usually date. He's quiet and reserved... I don't know if he's the right fit for me."Amelia listened carefully, her heart going out to her sister. She could see the uncertainty in Suzy's eyes, but she also saw the love that shone through when Suzy spoke about Scott."Suzy," Amelia said gently, "sometimes, we have to look beyond the surface to see the beauty within. Scott may be quiet, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care deeply for you. Within the little time I've seen him here, I've noticed the way he looks at you when he thinks no one's watching. It's a look of pure adoration."Suzy sighed, torn between her feelings for Scott and her uncertainty. "I guess I just need some reassurance. I want to be sure that he's as committed to this relationship as

He started down the path toward his car, parked at the curb.The familiar routine of his daily commute was etched into his subconscious, and he moved with a sense of purpose.
