Rosalynn and Barlow appeared to be a couple

"Yes."

Rosalynn didn't deny it. She held Brian's gaze.

Brian's face darkened.

A shadow of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

“Why? Rosalynn, I truly can't comprehend you. Why do your feelings shift so rapidly?"

Brian's Adam's apple moved noticeably.

"I don't seem to understand myself anymore. Your actions suggest that you're accepting Barlow. It seems I've been deceiving myself. I apologize for the intrusion."

He had tried to win her over, even at the cost of his dignity.

That should have been enough.

He couldn't Lie to himself any longer.

After saying that, Brian turned around and left.

Rosalynn reached out and grabbed his hand.

"Brian, don't go."

Her hand was soft.

Brian looked down at her and asked, “What do you mean?”

Rosalynn tightened her grip on his hand and looked up at him.

"Stay with me tonight. I don't want to be alone.”

She didn't want to think about anything. She just wanted him to stay with her.

Brian was taken aback by her sudden request, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

“What are you saying?"

Without a word, Rosalynn pulled him into her room, shut the door, and pulled him close.
