Just then, Madison appeared at her side, having come downstairs from her apartment. "Wow, who's that man with the big car?" she asked, her eyes wide with excitement. "It's the latest Porsche in town!"
Dunice shrugged, trying to downplay the encounter. "I don't know who he is. He just gave me a lift."
But Madison was having none of it. "Just a lift?" she repeated, her voice full of skepticism. "That man is not just anyone, Dunice. And that car? It's a status symbol. He's someone important."
Dunice rolled her eyes, trying to brush off Madison's curiosity. But she couldn't shake off the feeling that Richard was indeed someone significant and that their encounter was far from over.
"Tell me who he is!" Madison sang along, her voice playful and insistent as she stepped into her apartment.
