With a smirk, Barlow responded, âVery well, as you wish.
â
The two men exchanged knowing looks, a silent agreement hanging between them.
Rosalynn, puzzled by their cryptic conversation, pressed, âWhat are you talking about?â
Brian draped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her coat tighter around her.
âHoney, donât concern yourself with the affairs of others.
Are you cold?â
âNot in the slightest.
My curiosity is actually making me sweat!â
Brian smiled and slipped her hand into his pocket.
Watching Sheldon play with Karina, he said, âOur child will be here in five months.
â
It was clear to Rosalynn that he was saying this to change the subject.
She rolled her eyes and then checked her watch.
âFour hours to go.
â
Brian looked puzzled.
âWhat? Four hours until what?â
âYou want to know? Iâm not telling,â she said with a smirk and slipped away from his warm grasp, heading towards Karina.
Four hours remained.
She believed her husband would reveal the secret surprise at midnight.
âHoney, why are you running? Slow down,â Brian called out, furrowing his brow as he quickened his pace.
âSanford, I need to catch up with Rosalynn,â Maggie said, releasing Sanfordâs hand and sprinting ahead with a smile.
Left behind, Lyndon glanced at Tilda inadvertently.
âWill you go with them?â
Tilda almost laughed, amused by the antics of her son.
She was about to respond when a manâs voice interrupted her.
âTilda?â
The voice was vaguely familiar.
Turning, Tildaâs eyes widened in surprise.
It was Keanu.
What was he doing here?
At that moment, Keanu was accompanied by a group of people.
They looked like his colleagues.
Could they be on a team outing?
