Brian cast a wary glance at Rosalynn, his brow furrowing before he stooped to collect the sealed trash bag.

Rosalynn greeted this with a smile, quickly neutralizing her expression when he turned her way.
âRosalynn and I must be off now,â Maggie addressed them, her gaze following Rosalynn as she moved to start the car.
âWe can escort you to work, Maggie.
Isnât that right, Brian?â Sanford offered.
In response, Brian threw him an icy stare before pivoting away, a silent dismissal.
