When her words rang out, Colby was evidently shocked. His brows furrowed, and he snapped back to his senses. Straightening, he swung his gaze at her. “The two of you have finished talking so soon?”

Roxanne nodded with a smile. “Larry is also planning to attend the Damaris family’s medical consultation. We merely chatted briefly and agreed to go together.”
