Rosalyn didn't feel watched that day. She felt safe and calm and concentrated on her work. The manager was quite impressed that he let Rosalyn and Cathy leave early from their shifts that day.
The best friends were on cloud nine. They were chattering on their way to grab some snacks and, Cathy said, "Why did you reject the offer when your friends asked you for the party night?" Rosalyn shrugged and said, "Camilla mostly stays with Aaron, her boyfriend. I sometimes get the house alone to myself. I like the peace more, so I rejected their offer." Cathy grinned and said, "Then how about we have a slumber party at your house? I will get my cookies!" Rosalyn grinned her widest smile and replied, "That would be awesome. I will let you know the date." The best friends purchased bagels as they parted ways. Rosalyn headed for the bus stop while enjoying her bagel. There, she stopped and stared at subway 101 again. Rosalyn stared at the subway as if secrets lay in it. She went near it but retreated as her guts didn't allow her to go in.
On the way back home, she cursed under her breath thinking
'Only if I had the guts to go inside the subway, I would have found some answers.'
Camilla and Rosalyn sat down for dinner. Camilla blurted out how her relationship with Aaron had strengthened. Aaron wanted Camilla to meet his parents to fix the marriage. Rosalyn realised that Aaron was her sister's fiance. Camilla said that she would be leaving the day after the next day to meet Aaron's parents. Rosalyn was happy for them. She really was, but her mind wandered off to the subway. When Rosalyn went to bed, she was determined that she would go inside the subway the next day to find some answers.
