âYes, tonight I will lead.
â
She was determined to lavish him with care and savor their fleeting joy.
In Skrix, after sharing a meal with the Moreno family, Rosalynn stood to leave after a short break.
Gail was visibly saddened by the prospect of her departure.
âI called you so suddenly today.
Next time, bring Brian along for a pleasant visit.
â
Rosalynn returned the sentiment with a smile.
âCertainly.

Gail then turned to Lyndon, inquiring, âAnd you, Lyndon? Will you not stay?â
Lyndon replied appreciatively, âThank you, Mrs.
Moreno, but Iâve reserved a hotel room.
â
Gail acknowledged his response without further insistence on his stay.
Casting a glance at Lyndon, Brian clasped Rosalynn close.
They bid farewell to the Moreno family and departed for the Owmale Hotel.
Upon entering the elevator, Rosalynn noticed Brianâs error and corrected the floor selection.
Brian shot her a look, disclosing, âEdwin reserved the penthouse suite for me.
Youâll stay with me tonight.
â
Upon hearing Brianâs comment, Rosalynnâs lips formed a tight line.
âBrian, in your opinion, do we align more on an emotional or physical level?â she inquired.
The question lingered in the airâ¦
Brianâs brow creased with confusion.
âWhat are you implying?â
With a measured tone, Rosalynn elaborated, âThe kind of marriage I envision is one thatâs bonded by the soul.
If I were to spend tonight with you, could you vow to keep your hands to yourself?â
A moment of silence fell over Brian.
âWhy must you make a big deal out of everything? Are you suggesting an asexual marriage between us?â
She countered, âMen and women are different.
A woman consents to intimacy only when sheâs in love, whereas a man doesnât need love to engage.
â
Brianâs voice tinged with frustration.
âSo, Rosalynn, are you actually trying to say you donât love me?â
