At the end of the corridor, two women stood facing each other, enveloped in an unusual atmosphere. Josie lowered her head and spoke first, “Mrs. Hadey, I apologize for ruining Summer’s birthday banquet that day.”

Claudia examined her closely, unable to accept the fact that this soft-spoken woman before her was her daughter’s rival in love and Dexter’s wife.

Josie nodded in agreement, “I am equally surprised.”

“Dexter has treated you well,” Claudia stated plainly.

Josie hesitated for a moment. “Well…perhaps,” she spoke uncertainly, as even Josie herself was uncertain of Dexter’s feelings.
