Rosalynn bit her lip and explained, “She’s got it wrong. She thinks I’m tainted and I’ll be the ruin of
Brian.”
Gail let out a deep sigh after a moment’s reflection.
“Noemi’s a close friend of mine. Her behavior might stem from her own marital woes.”
She paused before continuing, “I suppose I can see where she’s coming from. Her overprotectiveness
towards Brian probably comes from a place of guilt. You’re aware that Brian was once poisoned, so
she’s always on edge.”

She could sympathize with Noemi’s instinct to protect her son, but not with the actions it spurred.
Regardless, she knew harming others to fulfill one’s objectives was unjust.
“You were quite bold to retaliate without even a word to Brian, weren’t you?” Gail noted Rosalynn’s
silence and questioned her, a hint of a smile in her tone.
Rosalynn admitted, “I was so incensed at that moment. There was no time to consult him.”

Was her temper really akin to Noemi’s?
That couldn’t be the case!
Rosalynn’s brow creased in objection.
“I am not as illogical as her.”
Gail’s laughter spilled out, unrestricted.
“I’m not saying your actions were incorrect. However, acting without consulting Brian isn’t quite right.
“Keep in mind, she’s your mother-in-law, your husband’s mom. You should take Brian’s emotions into
account, shouldn’t you?”
