“Yes, it pairs perfectly.”
“Great, I’ll take it.”
Armed with their shopping bags, Sabrina and Bettie exited the apparel store and headed to another.
After three clothing stores, the pair landed in front of a jewelry store.
“Let’s take a peek inside.”
The store attendant greeted them warmly upon their entrance. “Ladies, how may I assist you?”
“We’d Like to check out your necklaces,” replied Sabrina.
“Right this way, please.”
Tyrone looked up at the sound of the familiar voice and was momentarily surprised.
Sabrina looked in his direction too, and their eyes Locked.
When Sabrina’s gaze fell upon Galilea, her heart jolted. Swiftly turning her eyes away, she elbowed Bettie gently.
Bettie, too, spotted the pair not too far off. Her radiant smile morphed into one of scorn.
In unison, they greeted, “Mr. Blakely.”
Tyrone returned the nod.
As it turned out, Sabrina wasn’t planning to meet her lover today, but rather Bettie.
“Sabrina, Bettie.” Galilea’s surprise at seeing them was unmistakable.
She hastily tried to explain to Sabrina, “Sabrina, I didn’t expect to see you here. I apologize. Tyrone and I…”
Tyrone observed the worried expression on Galilea’s face, a stark contrast to the serene demeanor she possessed when she first returned from overseas. A pang of guilt washed over him.
Her transformation was a consequence of her discovery of his marital status.
She longed to stay with him, but her conscience kept reminding her that she was intruding on someone’s marital life, leading her to often wallow in guilt and confusion, which further exacerbated her depressive state.
“You needn’t explain. I understand. Continue your shopping. We won’t intrude,” Sabrina said, reaching out for Bettie’s hand, preparing to leave.
Bettie, however, had other plans. She asked with a sly grin, “Galilea, who did your makeup today? It’s beautiful.”
“I did it myself,” Galilea replied, looking puzzled.
“Your skills are commendable, even surpassing Regina’s. Wouldn’t you agree?”
