Maggie cried some more once she returned home, having revealed so much of her painful past to

Alyssa all at once. She ended up falling asleep and only waking up in the afternoon the next day. Her

mother had gone to work already.

Maggie struggled to get out of bed. She really didn't feel like going out, so she called the shopowner of

the tailor shop she used to work at to order some fabrics. She planned to start making a bag for Xavier.

In all honesty, if it was someone else who'd asked Maggie to do this, she wouldn't have actually gone

through with it.

But Xavier's eyes had been so bright and his tone so earnest when he asked. Maggie couldn't help but

want to finish making it for him as fast as she could.

The tailor shop owner called Maggie in the evening and informed her that he'd sent a runner to drop off

the fabrics. The runner was about to reach her home.

Maggie thanked the shop owner profusely and patiently waited.

Sometime later, someone knocked on her door.

Maggie was eager to open it. But when she placed her hand on the doorknob, she still asked

cautiously, "Who is it?"

The person outside paused briefly before saying, "Delivery guy. I have something for you."

Delivery? Wasn't this person a runner?

Maggie grew suspicious. "I've made a lot of orders recently. Where is your delivery from? Here or out of
