Just then, Brian approached them, wrapping up a phone call.

"Rosa, are you finished here?" he asked.

Rosalynn glanced back at him and said, “Hold on a sec."

Looking at Brian, Zoe was shocked by his good-looking appearance.

"Rosalynn, this is..."

“Brian Hughes, my husband. Honey, this is Zoe Gilbert." Rosalynn made the introductions.

Brian stood tall and imposing, radiating a strong presence.

Most people would feel intimidated by him.

Zoe was no different. She became tense and bowed politely.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Hughes."

Brian gave a small nod, his face showing Little emotion.

But with Rosalynn, his demeanor softened.

“Are you tired? How about we sit somewhere and talk?"

He seemed concerned only about Rosalynn's wellbeing.

Rosalynn turned to Zoe and said, "Zoe, let's sit down somewhere and talk. Could you tell me everything?"

Zoe paused briefly before nodding. "Sure."

Rosalynn smiled gently, ready to find a spot to chat.

Just then, some noise came from nearby.

A group of boys, chatting and Laughing, were heading their way after playing basketball.

Zoe halted abruptly upon spotting one of them, a flicker of alarm crossing her eyes.
