Ronald tucked her in gently, watching over Kari as she drifted into a peaceful slumber before he could bring himself to leave her side.
...
After giving Kari a few days off, Brittany took over the negotiations. The clients were thoroughly impressed with Bri-jeweled Studio and eagerly signed the deal.
Once everything was wrapped up, Brittany called Kari to fill her in on the details.
"So, I heard you and Ronald decided to take a little getaway?" Brittany inquired, a hint of curiosity in her voice.
There was a brief pause before Kari replied, "Brittany, Ronald and I... we're together now."
Brittany had had her suspicions: "Daniel mentioned something about Ronald being quite fond of you. Kari, all I want is for you to be happy."
If it weren't for that fateful incident with the Jarvis family, Nathan would've married Kari a long time ago. But now that she was with Ronald, Brittany couldn't be more supportive.
Glancing at Ronald, who was busy checking their itinerary, Kari felt a wave of affection wash over her. "Brittany, I think I'm really into him."
This wasn't her first rodeo with love; she had once loved Nathan deeply. But with Ronald, it felt like a brand new flutter in her heart.
"Congratulations, Kari," Brittany said, her happiness for her friend genuine.
After Ronald finished with their schedule, he moved closer to Kari, his breath tickling her ear as he whispered, "All set with the plans."
He was intentionally invading her personal space, causing Kari to shiver.
She shot him a playful glare, which only encouraged him to wrap his arms around her waist and gently nibble on her neck. "Just thought we could use a little escape."
On the other end of the line, Brittany was left speechless. Was Ronald being playfully affectionate?
