"Our conversations are always so engaging and meaningful." Mara grinned, her eyes shining with appreciation. "Likewise, Greg. You have a way of making me feel heard and understood. It's a rare quality to find in someone." As they reached a crossroads, the time to part ways had reluctantly arrived. Greg began walking towards his apartment, deep in thought about their earlier conversation. “Sometimes, I can just feel it from the way you talk and the way you solve problems.

"Even though Griffin has been released and your father has reconsidered his decision, it still doesn't close the possibility that you can be the sol—" “So, when did you know about it?" “Y—Yes?” "I'm asking when you first heard the news about Griffin's release. Something as significant as this couldn't have just coincidentally come out at the same time as my father's decision to call me back to Ruam and reconsider his plans, right?" Greg pressed, his gaze unwavering. Dylan’s eyes darted away for a moment, a flicker of guilt crossing his face as he took a deep breath and gathered his thoughts.

“Can you tell me what she looks like?"***Mara looked puzzled as Greg asked her to repeat about the fancy girl she saw at Georgia's house. She furrowed her eyebrows, trying to recall the encounter.“Oh, yeah,” Mara began, “Well, I was waiting for Georgia to answer the door, and while I was standing there… I notice a woman walking down the hallway inside her house.
