Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 589

"Sorry, I don't dance," Roseanne demurred.

The guy walked away, visibly deflated.

She thought that would be the end of it, but no sooner had one left than another appeared.

After turning down five guys in quick succession, Roseanne quickly pulled Mamie to find a secluded spot to sit.

Tucked away in a corner and dimly lit, they were almost invisible.

Roseanne let out a sigh of relief, finally a moment of peace.

"Roseanne, you're too popular. I'm half tempted to ask you to dance myself," Mamie chuckled.

"Is this seat taken? Do you mind if I sit here?"

"Sorry, we were just—" Mamie was about to decline.

"Professor?! What are you doing here?"

Owen Reynolds asked, "So, may I sit?"
