“Alright, I’ll be here with you.” Wayne kissed Rosalynn’s forehead.

But Wayne was different, because he had a sanctuary, he had her and the children.
“Am I handsome?” Wayne noticed Rosalynn staring at him and teased her to lighten the mood
“Of course. If you weren’t, why would I have kept you around for so long after you being so mean to me?”
Rosalynn’s bantering reply came out naturally
But as soon as she said it, she felt a pang of regret
She thought she had misspoke, “What I meant was

It’s okay.” Wayne said softly. “You don’t have to carefully choose your words with me Rosalynn felt a sudden lump in
her throat.
