Roxane walked through the gate that her driver had already opened for her. She looked at the apartment she used to live with Floyd. ‘I can’t believe I used to live in this place.’ She shook her head. She will never be back in this place again. Roxane stopped walking when she reached the house of Raquel. The door was closed but she could hear loud music from inside. She knocked.
“Are you inside?” Roxane called as she knocked. “Raquel!”
