Somehow, his wound didnât feel as painful as it had before he texted Karina.
The next day, as Rosalynn woke up, she found Barlow was already awake.
âGood morning.
Youâre up early.
â
Propped against the headboard, Barlow turned to her and replied, âNot by choice.
Your snoring roused me.
â
Rosalynn was lost for words.
Wait a minute!
She snored?
Brian had never brought this up.
Spotting the mischief in Barlowâs gaze, Rosalynn realized he was pulling her leg.
âEnough with the jokes!â
Barlow let out a chuckle.
âAre you grilling me again? Remember, I saved your life.
â
Rosalynn glanced at his bandaged arm, forced a smile, and responded, âI apologize.
Iâll keep my complaints to myself.
Does that work?â
Barlow found her formal tone amusing.
âKnock it off.
Your smile is unsettling.
Just be yourself.

The contrived grin on Rosalynnâs face faded.
She began pondering the dayâs agenda.
âIâLL arrange a caregiver for you.
Iâve got work to attend to.
â
âNo need.
Go to work.
Karina will come by later to look after me.
â
Barlow dismissed her offer.
Rosalynn Looked taken aback.
âDid Karina tell you that?â
âShe texted me Last night.
â Barlow gave his phone a Little shake.
Rosalynn squinted, scrutinizing him.
Barlow lifted an eyebrow, taunting, âAre you telling me again not to flirt with Karina? Relax.
Youâre the only one I have eyes for.
No need to get jealous.
â
Realizing he was joking again, Rosalynn shot him an exasperated eye roll.
âAlright, I need to get going.
