Hannah replied, “Rosie, listen here, don’t flaunt your love life in front of us divorcees. Careful or we might just gang up and leave you out in the cold.”

Rosie retorted, “Who’s flaunting? I’m genuinely unsure of his thoughts. I’ve asked him, but he won’t spill the beans. That’s why I wanted to hear your take. You’re outsiders; you should have a clearer picture.”

Cornelia said, “As an outsider, all I see is that Lucas is head over heels for you. If you have doubts, Rosie, ask him directly. Clear the air and quit overthinking.”
