Linsey could only stare at him, speechless for once.
A sudden knock at the door broke the awkward silence.
Quick to recover, Linsey cleared her throat and called out, “Cin.”
Roland entered cautiously, greeting them both.
A frown settled on Collin’s face the moment he caught sight of Roland. Collin couldn't help but think Roland
always managed to show up at the worst possible times, interrupting every private moment he had with Linsey.
