Stepping Stone

Amelia went home with a pale expression.

She could not understand what had just happened. Why was everything going south?

'Something is wrong?'

'Why did Mia try to go up?'

Amelia thought back. She remembered calling Mia when she left work. Amelia was not allowed to meet Alexander and nor was she given a chance to explain herself. She felt tired and dejected.

But Mia had an illogical answer. Mia said that she found the card and wanted to give it back to her. But then her uncle wanted her to deliver some message to Alexander, but she could not reach him. As Mia was there, she had thought of telling it to Alexander's face to face so took the chance and went ahead.

'I was just a chance I took. I never knew it would end that badly for you. Should I tell Uncle to have a chat with Alexander?' Mia has said those words with a voice full of sorrows. But Amelia was sure that the story Mia had narrated had never happened.

'Mia is faking it.'
