Re: Ben + Rose
"Me too," Ben said, patting her hand gently. "For the record, though, I don't think Bryn would have minded." He'd wanted to be around more as well, but like Rose he hadn't wanted to smother Bryn. "I think we both did just exactly what was needed."
He grinned. "All my life practically. I play the guitar too." He stopped by the refreshment table and grabbed them each a cup of punch, handing hers to her. "Hasn't Brynnie told you about the band?" If he hadn't, he and his mate would be having Words later.
