The next morning, my phone buzzed wildly and pulled me awake.
When I checked it, the owners’ group chat had already blown up, with everyone urgently tagging me and begging me to rush back.
Property manager Cornelius kept calling me again and again as well.
The instant I answered, Cornelius’s anxious voice came through the phone, mixed with clear sobs.
“Miss Curtis! Gale admits she was wrong!”
“She swears she will never use the vibration machine again. Please come back quickly and move in!”
“Something serious has happened!”
