Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Roseanne and her group were getting ready to move on to the next museum when suddenly, she bumped face-to-face with Beverley. Leda let out an exaggerated "Wow."

Roseanne kept her expression neutral before calmly shifting her gaze away.

To her, Beverley was now a stranger, unworthy even of basic courtesy. It was easier to pretend they didn't know each other.

Less awkward for both parties.

Unexpectedly, Beverley advanced a few steps and, with a smile, greeted her, "Roseanne, fancy seeing you here!"

Norris and Madge exchanged a glance. An acquaintance?

They had never heard of their daughter knowing someone like Beverley... Their curiosity about Beverley's identity piqued.

Seeing their confusion, Leda leaned in and whispered a few words to them.

Suddenly, Madge's view of Beverley shifted. Norris' smile faded too, his gaze sharpening instantly.

Beverley, feeling awkward, was about to say something when Maisie, clearly impatient, urged, "What are we waiting for? Let's get out of here. It's stuffy and smells musty. Disgusting!"

"Exactly!" Farley chimed in, "I wish we hadn't come. Who cares about this old stuff? Mom, I'm starving."
