The desire in Brian's eyes had not completely faded away.

The memory of their kiss made Rosalynn feel shy.

She shot him a glare before turning around and heading into the kitchen.

Brian's heart melted as he caught Rosalynn's stare.

After a brief pause, he followed her into the kitchen.

Rosalynn took a deep breath to calm down.

She was just about to start washing the vegetables when Brian entered, causing her to frown.

“What are you doing here?" she asked.

Brian looked at her and asked, "Did Barlow help you cook?"

Caught off guard, Rosalynn responded, "Yes."

"What did he help you with?”

"Peeling an onion."

Peeling an onion?

He could do it too.

Brian looked around before asking, “What's on the menu tonight? Any onions that need peeling?"

Rosalynn was speechless.

What was he up to?

Why did it feel Like he was competing with Barlow for her attention?

“If there are onions, do you want to help me peel them too?"

“I'LL just be twiddling my thumbs otherwise. I can lend a hand with cooking, so we can finish faster," Brian explained earnestly.

Rosalynn smiled.

“Peeling onions tends to make people tear up. I asked Barlow to do it to make fun of him. Are you sure you want to do it too?"
