Rosie walked over, her voice laced with sarcasm. “I didn't think you and Ethan would patch things up so fast. I figured his connection with Gracie would have ended your relationship for good."

That doesn't bother me, either." Rosie was furious. She hadn't dated Ethan before. Her feelings for Ethan had only been a one-sided infatuation. "Haven't you heard? Gracie showed up again this morning at the Mitchell Group's tenth-anniversary event, sitting right beside Ethan. Think he'll dump you for her again?" She thrust her phone at Brenna, who glanced at the screen. The photo of Ethan and Gracie sitting together confirmed her claim. Brenna pondered who had sent the photo to Rosie.

Without a second thought, she sent it to Ethan.
