The sight of Karina and Barlowâs playful tussle brought a warm smile to Rosalynnâs eyes.
It was nothing short of wonderful to see them so in love.
Now that they had both finally fallen head over heels for each other, hopefully, they were going to be happy forever.
At that moment, Rosalynn felt Brianâs hand brush her shoulder, then gently turn her face towards him.
Her attention, momentarily stolen by the couple, snapped back to his gaze.
âLook at me, not them,â Brian murmured, his gaze holding hers.
Rosalynn watched her husband ladle soup for her, a question brewing in her mind.
Raising his eyebrows, Brian shot Rosalynn a surprised look and asked, âWhatâs with that stare? Would you like to express your love for me for the world to see?â
Hearing this, Rosalynn chuckled and placed her palm on his chin.

âAlright, spill it! What secret surprise are you hiding from me?â she asked.
Her breath hitched as he took her hand, the tenderness of his kiss sparking a warmth in her chest.
âSomething affectionate,â he whispered, tucking a loose strand of hair behind Rosalynnâs ear.
Rosalynn, speechless, felt a blush creep up her neck.
What was he planning to do?
Something affectionate?
What did that mean?
Nearing the end of their meal, they decided that they were okay and left the restaurant.
Despite the winter chill, a surprising liveliness thrummed outside the hotel.
A short distance across the open space, a bonfire cast a warm glow on its surroundings.
Fueled by laughter, the scene buzzed with life.
A smoky, savory aroma of barbecue drifted through the air, catching everyoneâs attention.
âHave you had enough to eat, Sheldon?â Karina inquired.
âMy tummy is full!â Sheldon replied with a nod.
âReally? Let me give it a little pat to see if thereâs room for more yummy food later,â Karina remarked as she reached out to touch Sheldonâs stomach.
Feeling Sheldonâs full belly, Karina shook her head and said, âOh, Sheldon, youâre going to be so bummed when you realize how amazing the barbecue will be! Itâs a shame that you wouldnât be able to eat it.
