Roger stared at her, puzzled for a moment, before noticing that Caroline was looking to her left. Her words also caught the attention of everyone else in the room. When they turned to look in the same direction as Caroline, they were surprised to see a beautiful brunette woman with short hair approaching them.
Roger felt as though he was in some sort of dream or a prank show because it wasn't possible that this beautiful woman before him was Deborah, his mute wife. This woman was well-groomed, wearing makeup, and dressed in new clothes: a white long-sleeved blouse and a black pencil skirt that accentuated her slim, well-formed body.
