âJust asking out of habit.

âIâll keep you informed.
Once I finish my work here, Iâll come back.
Pick me up at the airport?â
Rosalynn responded with a simple, âOkay.

As Brian stared at his phone, a wave of nostalgia washed over him.
Memories of their shared moments flooded his mind.

âBrian, breakfastâs ready.

Deannaâs voice sounded from behind.
Brian slipped his phone into his pocket, acknowledging her.
Looping her arm through his, Deanna craned her neck to get a better look at him.
âWho were you texting just now? You seem unusually cheerful?â
âYour sister-in-law,â Brian confessed, not bothering to hide the truth Her again?
Deanna pursed her lips, throwing a glance at Selina, who was approaching them.
âBrian, itâs rare for Selina to visit us.

Acknowledging his indifferent expression, Selina offered a placating smile.
âDeanna, donât stress over your brotherâs workload.
Iâm not a stranger here.
Your company is more than enough.

Iâll make sure my brother comes back to you.
â
Selina concealed her satisfaction, keeping her face neutral.
âEnough chatter.
Letâs eat.

Selina was confident that with Brianâs family on her side, he was bound to consider their feelings.
After all, they had been part of each otherâs lives for over two decades.
It seemed unlikely he could easily forget those memories.
That night, Rosalynn found herself lulled to sleep, perhaps influenced by a glimpse of Brianâs bathing picture.
She dreamt of their intimate moments, his voice gentle yet persuasive, reaching deep within her heart.
