The moment Scarlett stepped out of the Maguire mansion, she didn't look back
She walked down the driveway with her handbag hanging from her arm, her steps steady even though her heart wasn't
She had just given Jude hope that she might be coming back
She had even said maybe
For the first time since she walked away from the Maguire mansion, she had allowed herself to consider the possibility that the life she had once left could become something different but the possibility frightened her more than she wanted to admit
She got into her car and closed the door carefully and for several seconds, she sat there
Her hand rested on the steering wheel while she looked through the windscreen
She could still hear Tia's voice
So are you coming back?
Then Tyler's question
If you decide to stay, can I help you move your things?
