Discover the hidden stories and little-known
On a quiet evening in Willow Creek, Daniel shared a rumor he heard at the country club while relaxing with his wife, Melissa.
Grinning, he said, “You won’t believe what the guys were saying today. Apparently, our mailman has slept with every woman on this street… except one.”
Amused rather than upset, Melissa replied, “Every woman? That’s impressive for someone who only spends two minutes at each mailbox.” Daniel added, “Except one mysterious exception.”
Instead of taking it seriously, Melissa treated it like a puzzle. After mentally reviewing their neighbors, she said confidently, “I bet it’s Paula.”
When Daniel asked why, she answered, “She’s the only one who wouldn’t entertain nonsense like that. She has boundaries.”
Soon, the couple realized the rumor mattered less than the laughter it sparked. Their conversation became a reminder of
how easily stories grow in small communities—and how gossip often says more about those spreading it than those involved.
