âThen, please be sure to take a detour when you see Karina in the future!â
âSure, no problem!â
Barlow grinned and watched her stomp out of the room and slam the door behind her.
When he was alone again, he dropped his smile and pressed his hand against his chest.
A tremor shook his body.
Under the blanket, his white shirt was stained with a bit of blood.
Barlow closed his eyes and heard Kennediâs voice inside his head.
âI wonât kill you, Barlow, but I wonât let you go, either! I will destroy everything you love!â
Barlow was leading a dangerous life.
He didnât deserve to have someone by his side.
Meanwhile, Rosalynn finally managed to catch up to Karina.
She glanced at her friendâs red-rimmed eyes and pulled her in for a hug.
âKarina, have you fallen in love with him?â
Karina said nothing, but Rosalynn felt her tighten her arms around her.

Rosalynn gently stroked her friendâs back.
âDonât worry, Iâll get even with that jerk.
â
Karina immediately straightened with a sniff and a quick swipe at her eyes.
âNo, Rosalynn.
Thank you, but no.
Itâs all my fault.
I fell for him after a few casual flirtations.
I always fall in Love with someone I shouldnât.
Maybe I should just swear off men altogether.
â
âALL right.
â Rosalynn smiled.
âIn that case, you have my permission to fall for me.
We can spend the rest of our lives together.
â
Karina giggled.
âNo way, what if your avid suitor finds out? He will no doubt hunt me down and kill me.
â
Rosalynn snorted.
âWho would dare? Iâll make their Life a Living hell!â
âWell, since you insist, I suppose I have no choice but to Like you from now on.
â
âHeck yeah! Okay, come along, my sweetie.
Letâs go get something to eat.
â
âIâm older than you! I should be the one calling you sweetie.
â
âOkay, okay.
Do whatever you want.
â
The women went on to have a merry Lunch.
Rosalynn was relieved to see that Karina had calmed down and seemed to be back to her former self.
