“You’re all grown up now, Karina. It’s high time you found a boyfriend.
These are promising young men from Wragos. Take a look, see if any catches your fancy. Perhapsarrange a blind date.” Denisse handed her several pictures.
Karina curled her fingers into a fist and forced a smile, not even sparing the photos a glance. “Mom,there’s no need. I already have a boyfriend.”
She didn’t want to go on a blind date. Claiming to have a boyfriend seemed like the safer option.

A flicker of curiosity flashed in Annalise’s eyes. “Karina, is your boyfriend the one Virgil and I met Lasttime?”
Karina quietly confirmed, her fingers nervously entwining.
Annalise and Virgil had already encountered Barlow. It wouldn’t be a stretch to introduce him as herboyfriend.
“Really? You two have met him before? Karina, what does he do? What’s he like?” Denisse pressed.
Karina responded with a smile, “His name is Barlow Tucker. He recently returned from abroad to starthis own business. He’s just bought a film and television company and is Looking to break into theindustry. And he’s quite attractive.”
“Is that so? You should invite him over sometime. I’d like to meet him,” Denisse said, her excitementevident.
Karina’s heart fluttered. “Mom, we’ve only just begun dating. It’s a bit early for parent introductions.”
“That’s a fair point, ma’am. You need to give Karina more space and time. Virgil and I can help assessBarlow’s character,” Annalise interjected.
“Yes, that seems sensible. As young people, you might have a clearer perspective on theircompatibility.” Denisse nodded in agreement.
“Yes.” Annalise turned to Karina, her smile gentle. “Karina, perhaps you’d Like to invite your boyfriendfor a meal with us soon?”
Detecting a spark of opportunity in Annalise’s enthusiasm, Karina agreed. “Sure.”
Seeing Annalise’s enthusiasm, Karina considered exploiting this chance to her advantage.
On the second day, Rosalynn groggily rose from bed, gingerly massaging her aching waist, silentlycursing Brian.
Brian had been too rough with her.
As she emerged from the bedroom, her eyes fell upon Brian, who sat serenely on the couch,engrossed in his laptop.
Catching sight of him, she contemplated retreating back to the safety of her own home.
