Elma opened her mouth, contemplating mentioning that Lyndon was also present, but then thought better of it.
âAlright,â she agreed.
She believed it was a chance for Lyndon to join them.
Maybe more interaction could spark some affection.
After all, familiarity breeds fondness.
Over at the Owmale Hotel.
Rosalynn and her friends were laughing and chatting as they headed towards the restaurant, passing by several exclusive dining rooms.
One door swung open just as they were walking by.
Karinaâs gaze happened to land inside, and she paused slightly when she spotted a man.
Carlow? What was he doing here?
Her gaze shifted to the man across from him, and she stopped short.
âRosalynn, you guys go ahead.
I ran into a friend,â she explained.
âIâll say hi and catch up quickly.
â
âOkay, Rosalynn responded, leading Maggie and Tilda to their reserved room.
â
Karina then pushed open the door and greeted the people inside.
âHyatt,â she called out.
The man, Hyatt, seemed momentarily surprised.
His eyes darted to Carlow for a split second before he regained his composure.
âMiss Glyn, what a coincidence! Are you here for dinner too?â
âYes,â Karina replied, glancing at Carlow.
Carlow offered a smile.
âGood to see you again, Miss Glyn.
â
Karina gave a small nod.
âDid you two know each other before?â
Hyatt, after all, had been the one to escort her away when she was kidnapped by Kennedi earlier.
Heâd also been helping out at Barlowâs company after Barlow passed away.
What a small world! Did he know Carlow too?
Hyatt offered a smile.
âJust business acquaintances,â he explained.
Carlow turned to Karina.
âMy business went under,â he said, elaborating.
âALL my other friends abandoned me, but Hyatt stuck by me.
I invited him out, hoping he could offer some help.
â
Carlowâs explanation seemed genuine.
