Not far off, Hyatt was walking over.

Carlow looked over at Karina, as if asking for her go-ahead. “Should we head out? Our driver's here."

Karina glanced at Hyatt, momentarily caught off guard. “Is he the one driving us?"

Hyatt cleared his throat, slightly embarrassed. “Yeah, I'm heading the same way, so it fits."

He couldn't help but think this was just the kind of scheme Barlow would pull, dragging him into it as well.

After a short pause, Karina agreed, "Rosalynn, I'll leave with them now."

Rosalynn gave Carlow a lingering look, then said, “Drive safely."

"Okay. I'll head out first," Karina said, bidding farewell to the rest.

Barlow shared a glance with Brian, gave a slight nod, and began to walk away.

Brian's eyes followed him, noting the limp in his walk, his expression turning thoughtful.

“Honey, who is that guy?" Brian asked.

“That's Haleigh and Karina's new neighbor. Does he remind you of Barlow?" Rosalynn asked.

Brian just made a thoughtful sound in response.

It wasn't only the looks. There was something in the man's presence that felt similar to Barlow's.

"He's Haleigh's new neighbor, then?"

"Yep."

“Do you think we need to check him out?" Brian suddenly asked.

Rosalynn laughed. “Why look into someone without any reason?"

“What if he has ulterior motives toward Haleigh and Karina?" Brian replied, remembering his promise to look after them after Barlow's death.

"Let's not make assumptions. We'll watch and wait," Rosalynn suggested, not overly concerned.
