“I do. Mrs. Adam, you’ve got it twisted. I’m not into Ericko like that,” Maggie quickly set the record straight thinking back to what Nathael had said last night.

She wondered why he did push her a little harder because she would have said yes if he did.

Yet, deep down, she knew it would always be him.

Despite her own second–guessing, Maggie could not imagine being with anyone else.

Phillip cleared his throat loudly.

Phillip could not stand to watch anymore and had to say something.

Ericko, feeling a headache coming on, was shocked to hear Maggie had a boyfriend, especially since Nathael did not strike him as the type to charm someone like her.
