Perched on a large rock by the shore, she kept an eye on their belongings and cheered them on, her smile as bright as the golden sun overhead.
Everyone, from the household staff and bodyguards to Wayne and the children, wore broad grins on their faces. The crab hunting hadn't been very successful, but somewhere along the line, a spontaneous water fight had broken out.
Crystal-clear droplets sprayed into the air, catching the sunlight and casting rainbow reflections all around. Rosalynn watched, entranced.
How she wished time could always be this sweet.
"Rosa." Someone called her.
Rosalynn snapped out of her daze. Turning around, she found Jaime had quietly come ashore and was offering her a glass of lemonade.d2
"Thanks," Rosalynn accepted the drink.
Instead of going back into the water, Jaime sat down beside her.
"I was too harsh on you the other day. I'm sorry," Rosalynn apologized gently.
Tears welled up in Jaime's eyes, and he swallowed hard, "I was the one being childish... A man in his twenties should know better..."
"You're doing great enough," Rosalynn complimented him, causing Jaime to press his lips together.
"You're planning to send him away for treatment, aren't you?" he asked.
Rosalynn's expression sobered a bit, "Yeah, to Penn's experimental institute."
"You're staying here?" Jaime asked, surprised.
Rosalynn shook her head, observing Wayne who was being swarmed by the children but still laughing heartily, "No, I'll be coming back."
Over the past few days, she and Penn had been in discussions.
Penn's stance was clear: to avoid a repeat of what happened with Ayden and Betsy, Wayne's treatment should involve minimal contact with Rosalynn. Wayne's condition had worsened largely because of her. He would suppress parts of his personality that Rosalynn disliked, and would go to great lengths to please her, even if it meant deceiving himself.
