Brian pulled her closer, his hand encircling her waist as he gently squeezed her smooth cheek.
âYou havenât exactly met all my needs, love.

Rosalynn only offered him a glance, choosing to remain silent.
Brian leaned in to kiss her, whispering against her lips, âThat is, unless youâre planning on compensating me tonight.

His laughter filled the room as he draped his coat over his arm.

Maggieâs cheeks turned a rosy pink, and she hurriedly steered the conversation in another direction.
âMr.
Hughesâ sister is still with Keegan.

What? This revelation left Rosalynn momentarily surprised, a glint of astonishment in her eyes.
âReally? Sheâs still there?â
âYes, and there hasnât been any sound from the office,â Maggie filled in.
