“Cool? Rosalynn, I can't. My brother is smitten with Annalise, he's even planning a proposal. And what does she do? She's cozying up with Keegan behind his back!" Karina's voice trembled with indignation.

Fury simmered in Karina, her clenched fists trembling, but Rosalynn held her back before she could storm off.

“Take a breath, Karina," Rosalynn advised, her voice a calming balm.

“Rushing in won't help. We need solid proof to show your brother who Annalise truly is.”

Karina exhaled, her seething anger replaced with determination.

“You're right. I will show my brother Annalise's true colors. I'll get some pictures."

With resolve, Karina brandished her phone, but Rosalynn raised a questioning eyebrow.

"The door's shut tight. How do you plan on getting those pictures?"

Rosalynn pondered for a moment, then suggested, "I'll text Keegan and ask him to record his conversation with Annalise."

Hope ignited in Karina's eyes.

"Yes, message Keegan.”

Pulling out her phone, Rosalynn tapped out a message to Keegan.

Rosalynn did just that and then led Karina into another private room.

But Karina was visibly preoccupied, her gaze drifting towards Rosalynn's phone more than once.

"Let's eat while we wait," Rosalynn suggested, flashing an encouraging smile.

Karina took a distracted sip of water.

"I don't feel like eating."

“Why? Are you going to spoil your appetite just because of a woman?"

Rosalynn asked, ordering their meal. As Karina's distracted state continued, she decided to change the subject.

“Karina, I'm now living with Brian."

Karina's attention snapped back, her eyes wide with surprise.

"What? You're living with your ex? Why?"
