Roseanne stared at the steak cut into bite-sized pieces in front of her, her expression indifferent. She wasn't here for the food; just sitting across from him was already pushing her limits. Without giving Murray a chance to interrupt, she cut straight to the chase.

Roseanne instinctively sat up straighter.
