She wore a pale green dress with a white mink coat and a vintage red purse. Her hair and face were styled to perfection.

Patricia nodded at her in greeting. “Hello, Madam Selwyn.”

Madam Selwyn nodded stiffly and began to pull Zachary by the arm.

He had not seen her in so long and had no idea how she was doing. She was never around when he tried to look for her.

It was like she was hiding from him on purpose. Since he ran into her at last today, he was determined to say a few more words to her.

“Zach, don’t forget why you’ve come today,” Madam Selwyn reminded coldly.
