The sudden acquisition of a vintage Ferrari by Mrs. Rodriguez was the talk of the cul-de-sac. Sarah, however, felt a different kind of buzz. She'd always found Mrs. Rodriguez…well, a bit dull. Always dressed in sensible clothes, driving a sensible car. Now, here she was, living a whole other life. It was thrilling. She started to pace her living room, a smile stretching across her face.

This explained everything! The cryptic phone calls, the secretive trips, the sudden disappearance of the antique jewelry. She could picture it all.

The possibilities! A whole new world opened up for Sarah. Maybe she could convince the woman to take her under her wing. A new life? Maybe. Her laughter rang out a little too loudly in the otherwise quiet house.
