Wayne shook his head with a slight chuckle, "She's just worried about you, that's all."

Att his words, tears started to well up in Rosalynn's eyes.

"Grandma wouldn't fuss so much over anyone else," Wayne murmured, his eyelids drooping with a touch of sentiment.

Rosalynn raised an eyebrow reflexively, "Oh... should I find someone else then?"

Wayne's eyes snapped up to meet hers, catching the playful glint there. He flopped dramatically into her arms and declared with domineering certainty, "No way! It's too late for that. I've got to make sure I give Hilaria less to worry about!"

Rosalynn's shoulders shook with silent laughter.d2

"You're the one bringing up the subject, and here you are playing coy," she teased, poking Wayne's cheek gently.

He caught her finger and brought it to his lips for a soft kiss, "That's the logic, but I don't play by those rules."

"Such a tyrant," Rosalynn quipped, though her voice was laced with mirth.

Night fell over Moonlit Lake, which remained ablaze with lights.

Jaime rushed in, arriving just in time for dinner. He had come straight from a meeting. His suit and polished shoes gave off a dashing vibe, but to the onlookers, he somewhat resembled a kid playing dress-up in grown-up clothes.

"Wayne, you're really back?" Jaime bounded over, scanning the room before playfully punching Wayne's shoulder.

"Show some respect, call him brother-in-law!" Hilaria scolded.

"Alright, alright, brother-in-law! You're really back?" Jaime was quick to comply.

Wayne nodded, "Yeah, I'm back. Thanks for looking after the place while I was gone."
