Mavis changed her phone number and discarded her old contacts.
She had held onto that little sim card for a long time, battling inwardly over it.
Finally, Mavis broke the card in half and tossed it into the stream, letting the memories it carried wash away.
She kept only a few close contacts, especially Sheena's number.
Mavis knew Sheena would worry if she did not keep in touch.
Of course, she saved Asher and Adora's numbers too.
Once everything was in order, Mavis called Sheena.
"Hey, Sheena."
At first, Sheena thought she had misheard the voice, but she checked the caller ID to confirm that it was an unknown number.
"Why did you change your contact info? I almost thought it was a business partner."
Mavis chuckled and said, "The old number just didn't flow right. I decided to switch it up. The current one ends with 56789. Sounds smoother, right?"
Sheena sensed something amiss, but hearing Mavis in good spirits, she did not dwell on it.
"I'm quite surprised that you have the time to call me, but you haven't seemed too busy lately. Is everything okay with the Nicholls Group?"
Mavis paused briefly.
She had not thought about how to answer this, so she dodged it vaguely.
"Not really. Tommy's been handling a lot of the work lately. I'm pregnant and just wanted more time to rest. How about you? You always seem rushed whenever we talk."
"Same old, same old," Sheena sighed. "Just more focused on family now. I've not been around much for Asher and Adora when they were younger, but now I'm really into their education."
Mavis teased, "You know I wasn't asking about that."
Sheena chuckled. "You're pregnant. Watch what you say in front of your child. Anyway, I'll let you go. I've got a meeting with a partner soon. Take care of yourself, and I'll visit you soon."
Wait, what?
Mavis's eyes widened in shock when she heard Sheena was coming to visit her.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
