At dawn, Mary awoke feeling cold. The warm embrace of Maximus was gone. She assumed he might have risen early to prepare breakfast for her, but a heavy feeling in her chest unsettled her. She dressed quickly and wandered through the mansion. She checked the kitchen, but he wasn’t there. No sign of him anywhere.

Returning to their bedroom, a sudden Instinct led her to look for his suitcase—it was gone.

For a moment, she sat on the edge of the bed, unable to think clearly. What had happened the night before had been special for her, a glimmer of hope. She refused to accept the obvious: that once again, Maximus had deceived her. She had fallen for his act, just like all the other times before.

She tried not to think the worst, but as time passed with no sign of him, her anxiety grew. She grabbed her phone and called him. The phone rang, but there was no answer.

At 10:00a.m., her concern turned to anger. She decided to call the mansion. Part of her wanted answers, the other part dreaded them. Only the day before, she had given him another chance–and now she was alone, without so much as an explanation.

“Hello?”

“Hello… Emma?”

“Yes, who’s calling?” Emma sounded confused.

“Ma’am! How wonderful to hear your voice! Forgive me, I didn’t recognize you–I’ve been so absentminded lately.”
