Rose shook her head, indicating that she had no prior knowledge of someone coming to visit. The mystery deepened, and Emily couldn't help but wonder who could be standing outside their door."Then who could that be?" Emily pondered aloud, her eyebrows furrowing in concentration.

It's really great to see you again, Rose," Max stammered, his voice betraying a mix of nervousness and excitement. He couldn't help but notice how beautiful she still looked, though he quickly pushed aside any thoughts of attraction, focusing on the gravity of the situation at hand. It had been years since they had last spoken face to face, and it wasn't an easy topic to broach."I know this might come as a surprise, and I hope I don't come across as some kind of stalker," Max continued, his words coming out in a rush.
