My Love, Enlighten me

Anne tried The Lost City because she certainly didn’t know that the writer was Gloria.

But, after what happened these past two days, Anne should’ve known.

Gloria had just left the studio when a white car stopped in front of her.

The door was pushed open, and Anne wearing a pair of sunglasses stepped out of the car.

Anne was wearing a leather jacket for a photo shoot. It was tough to wear that in August weather.
