“Rosalynn, are you not going to speak with me?"

It was a text from Brian.

Upon reading the message, Rosalynn couldn't help but smile.

Just as she was contemplating whether to respond, another message from Brian popped up.

“Call me back. Rosalynn, you know my temperament.”

He was issuing a warning.

Rosalynn, taken aback, told Karina and Hutton, “I need to step out to make a phone call."

She walked to a quieter spot outside and dialed Brian's number.

“Hello?”

Brian's deep, captivating voice echoed from the phone.

He seemed somewhat elated.

Rosalynn rolled her eyes, remarking, “Are you incredibly free at the moment?"

"No, I'm rather occupied, but I can always make time to miss you. Doesn't that make you feel special?”

Rosalynn was at a loss for words.

He was incredibly self-absorbed.

“Yes, I feel special. Are you content now?" Rosalynn had no desire to engage in a quarrel.

“Where are you?" Brian asked.

“Having dinner with friends."

“Stay at my place tonight." Brian's tone was firm.

“Brian, you're incredibly domineering," Rosalynn said, taken aback.

“Wait for me at my place. Don't compel me to come and get you.”

With that, Brian ended the call.
