As Brian locked eyes with Rosalynn, he felt an oppressive weight settle onto his chest, the feeling of suffocation making him uneasy.
Should he place his trust in her?
Could he believe her?
Why hadnât she offered an explanation for her overnight escapade with Barlow?

Brianâs eyes narrowed as he pressed, âWhy canât you tell me?â
With clear eyes, Rosalynn held his gaze.
âBrian, do you trust me?â
Brian met her gaze, his expression unreadable.
Without a word, he reached out, pulling her into his embrace.
âIf you wish for my trust, Let me confirm it for myself first!â
In an instant, his lips claimed hers, his fingers tracing a path across her body.
The sunlight streaming through the window bathed the room in a warm glow.
Taken aback by his sudden ardor, Rosalynn pulled away, asking, âBrian, what are you trying to do?
