Setting Clear Boundaries for the Pier
As they talked, Maren suggested they set clear boundaries regarding the use of the pier. She felt it was necessary to establish guidelines that both families could agree on moving forward.
Chase listened, nodding as she outlined her ideas, though the expression on his face was indistinguishable.
It was a crucial step in protecting her space, and she hoped it would lead to a more amicable relationship.
Perhaps this was the way to defuse the tension that had built up between them.
