It was a quiet Friday evening in Willow Creek when Daniel decided to share an amusing bit of gossip he’d picked up at the country club. He and Melissa were relaxing on the couch, unwinding after a long week. Daniel swirled his whiskey, grinning mischievously.
“You won’t believe what the guys were saying today,” he began. “Apparently, our mailman has slept with every woman on this street… except one.”
Melissa slowly set down her tea and raised an eyebrow. “Every woman?” she asked, clearly entertained. “That’s impressive for someone who only spends two minutes at each mailbox.”
Daniel chuckled. “That’s what they claim. Except one mysterious exception.”
Rather than reacting with outrage, Melissa treated it like a puzzle. She mentally reviewed their neighbors—Carol with her endless book clubs, Jenna who’d just moved in, Mrs. Donnelly who saw everything but claimed she didn’t. Then there was Paula: independent, polite, but distant. She attended neighborhood events briefly and kept her private life private.
“I bet it’s Paula,” Melissa said confidently.
