She snored?
Brian had never brought this up.
Spotting the mischief in Barlow’s gaze, Rosalynn realized he was pulling her leg. “Enough with the
jokes!”
Barlow let out a chuckle. “Are you grilling me again? Remember, I saved your life.”
Rosalynn glanced at his bandaged arm, forced a smile, and responded, “I apologize. I’ll keep my
complaints to myself. Does that work?”
Barlow found her formal tone amusing.
“Knock it off. Your smile is unsettling. Just be yourself.”

Barlow dismissed her offer.
Rosalynn Looked taken aback. “Did Karina tell you that?”
“She texted me Last night.” Barlow gave his phone a Little shake.
Rosalynn squinted, scrutinizing him.
Barlow lifted an eyebrow, taunting, “Are you telling me again not to flirt with Karina? Relax. You’re the

Realizing he was joking again, Rosalynn shot him an exasperated eye roll. “Alright, I need to get
going.”
