Mary's heart raced with anticipation. The thought of being back in that mansion, so close to Ross, filled her with excitement she couldn't fully explain.
She tried to keep her expression neutral, but deep inside, she was already imagining sneaking around again, finding another opportunity to spy on Ross.
The vivid memories of the previous night sent a shiver of delight through her as she thought, Maybe I'll get another chance to see him… up close.
"You're in a good mood now," Natalie teased, shooting her a playful glance.
"I guess I am," Mary admitted, her smile widening. But her reasons were far from what her sister suspected.
As they approached Mary's university, she turned to Natalie with a curious look. "Hey, sis, can I ask you something?"
"Of course," Natalie replied, slowing the car as they neared the campus entrance.
