ISABEL After the flight had landed, the passengers made their way toward the baggage claim area to retrieve their belongings. Amidst the commotion of the crowd, I was looking out for Jackson or his resemblance. Despite my efforts to locate him, he was nowhere to be found and I began to feel I had misidentified him in the first place. Perhaps, in the flurry of activity and excitement of the journey, my mind had played tricks on me, conjuring up the impression of Jackson in the crowd. I found myself wrestling with doubt, and wondering whether I had simply mistaken another traveler for Jackson. Retrieving my luggage, I exited the terminal, determined to find temporary accommodation while I sought a permanent residence. The reality of navigating this unfamiliar city alone sank in as I surveyed the surroundings of the airport, fully aware that securing lodgings and eventually an apartment would require careful planning. With the heavy baggage with me, I set off to get a taxi. As I

"I'm not certain about what happened between you too but I do know that Mavis has caused you great pain and that's why you decided to leave us. I felt compelled to take matters into my own hands, so I infiltrated his room and seized several crucial cards and a significant amount of money from him. These items are hidden at the bottom of your smallest box. I am remorseful for my actions, and I ask for your forgiveness," She confessed, "Please if you ever returned those items to him, don't tell him I got them for you."The revelation left me stunned, unable to immediately process Jane's confession.A prolonged silence set in as neither of us found the words to continue. Finally, Jane spoke up, "It's okay if you need tim

The promptness of Mom's call which she redialed after the initial call went unanswered signified the urgency of her message."Hello, Mom," I answered, my voice slightly muddled from the sudden awakening, "I was just trying to catch some sleep.""I apologize for the interruption, dear. I had no idea you were resting," My mother replied, with concern. "Please don't let me keep you up any longer. We can talk when you've had a chance to rest. Take care of yourself."No Mom, speak I'm listening.""If you're certain, I won't hesitate to share what's on my mind," My mother responded, "I'd like to have your address, in case I'm able to visit San Francisco in the next month.

It's simply not practical," I said, lightly chuckling at her suggestion to diffuse the tension.My response made her ponder for a while, "Mavis...
