After leaving the place, Carol hummed a tune as she headed back to her Maserati.

There had been a whirlwind of events in Greenfield recently. lan had gone abroad, and Maja was about to leave as well.

Carol hadn't shared much about her own affairs with Maja, knowing her friend had plenty on her plate.
