A hint of flattery accompanied her actions.
Brianâs expression softened.

Rosalynn paused in her meal, responding, âJust pretend that youâre not aware, to spare Karinaâs self-esteem.

She forced down the food and took a sip of soup to clear her throat.

Rosalynn nearly spit out her mouthful of soup.

Rosalynn was left speechless.
She felt falsely accused.
âDarling, is that your perception of me?â
