Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Abbey flashed a bright smile as she walked up and linked arms with Irving. "What a coincidence, bro! Running into you guys here."

Madge returned the greeting with a smile, "Hey, Abbey."

"What brings you and Roseanne to the property office? Don't tell me you're house hunting?"

"No, we actually bought a place yesterday."

"Oh, I see..." Abbey gave her a once-over, the smile on her lips growing wider. "We're here to check out the properties, especially this Lakeside Gem. It's all the rage online! I heard it's tough to get a unit on the higher floors. People are lining up, trying to sweeten the deal with the sales team, but no luck!"

"Thankfully, our cousin Lauretta knows a real estate agent here, and she managed to snag us a spot."

"Just placed the order and signed the contract."

As Abbey spoke, her eyebrows seemed to reach for the sky.

Her grin was practically uncontainable, especially upon seeing Madge's shocked expression. The thrill and pride she felt were at their peak.
