"Lily..."

Lily flashed Maisie a gentle smile that conveyed everything without needing to be said.

"If you require assistance, just let me know. I'll do everything I can!"

"Thank you," Maisie replied, meeting Lily's sincere gaze.

"Why thank me? We get along well, and I'm happy to help!"

The two shared smiles.

Maisie poured a cup of coffee for Lily, and they settled by the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly admiring the distant

scenery.

along the streets resembled clusters of pale pink mist and swallows flitted through the willow branches joyfully.

Despite the arrival of spring, the frost in Maisie's heart proved resistant to thawing.

Lily turned to her, softly asking, "Maisie, are you truly never going to forgive him?"

Maisie fell silent, unsure how to respond to such a complex question.
