Janiya held her hand in a comforting gesture.

She had planned to inspect an apartmentâs interior design this morning instead of heading to the studio.
âI appreciate it, but no need.

âIâm concerned for you.
Letâs go,â Rosalynn insisted, securing the apartment door.
âAlright, Rosalynn, give me a moment.
