Who are you? Zoe asked like some frightening cat. I am Roe Rod and you are? I don't make friends with my enemy, if you are not a friend to my love then you are not my friend.
Go slow, you should not be overly defensive. Roe, you should stay away from me and that goes for your wife.
She dart back, Roe smile, watching her leave. Whitney just arrived with Casper. You should rest. Casper tells her but she pulled his hand. What is it?
What was that for? Why did you kiss me in front of those people?

My baby, how is the conference?
It was fine, we meet again.
Who? George asked her. I saw Gregory, I know I was going to meet him but I never thought he was going to affect me like this.
Come sister, just don't give him attention and if it's too much for you to handle, just let me know, I could tell Casper to let you passed it.
No, I will be fine and are you back? No, I am not, I will be done by weekend and I am sure, you will be back then.
Yes big brother and take care of yourself. Whitney said, the line went off. God! Please help me on this.
Whitney is tense, she can't bear to see Gregory with another, all this time, she felt she is done with love but seeing Gregory again just confirmed that she still wants him.
Even though, she has plans to make him pay something in her heart still want him, to stay close to her, to cuddle her, she missed everything concerning this man.
