I was at a loss how to find common ground with Caleb regarding our plans for Roz Town, where both of us would be content.
It seemed Like an almost insurmountable task.
After pondering over it for a considerable amount of time, I finally arrived at a decision.

Suddenly, like a ghost, Adam materialized at the office door.
“Debra, I need to see you in my office immediately,” he ordered in a stern tone.
“Sure.”
Unsure of Adam’s intentions, I approached his office with a sense of caution.
As I entered, Adam glanced at me intently and asked in a serious tone,
