Can you assure me that she will not twist the facts?

Abigail's attention was momentarily diverted as she thought she heard footsteps behind her. With a quick turn, she scanned the room but found no one inside. Thinking Christopher had returned and retreated to the study, she ended the call.

However, as she entered the study, an empty silence greeted her. Christopher was nowhere to be found, leaving her slightly perplexed. She sighed softly, realizing that her assumption had been incorrect.

"Maybe my ears are ringing," she murmured to herself.

She remembered him saying that there was a lot of pending work in the office. Deciding to wait for Christopher's return, Abigail settled herself in the hall. She glanced at the clock on the wall, the ticking sound filling the room as she patiently anticipated his arrival. She hoped that he would return soon, eager to share the romantic dinner she had prepared and engage in the heartfelt conversation they both needed.
