“His record collection? Why on earth would I want that?” Denise complained

“Well, Kevin stated your first date was at a record store He said you used to dance to the songs, and the collection would hold value to you”

“Enough,” Joe commented with a bit of disdain in his mouth

“I did” She nodded, tearing up a bit

Honestly, out of the ex-wives of Kevin, Rosalina was my favorite She was kindhearted at times but came with a world of personal trauma that made her act out in intense ways When she was levelheaded, though, she was so gentle If I had to choose a favorite stepmother out of the bunch, Rosalina would’ve been it But that wasn’t saying much, truly The best of three evils

“Hopefully more than you both He did, after all, marry me twice,” she remarked

“Divorced you twice, too,” Denise shot back “A double loser, if you ask me Just like how you lost Miss America twice”

“Screw you, Denise,” Catherine snapped
