Re: Rose and Bill
"Yes it does and yes you could," he said, pulling his legs up and putting his arms around them as he leaned forward. It made it easier to see her face, the expression as she sat there quietly. He pondered pushing, asking, prodding, but opted for waiting. When she spoke, he knew it had been the right decision.
He was quite certain of who she was, even though Rose never mentioned her name. Could there be any other she today? For anyone of them? "What did you tell her?" he asked her, wondering if she - on top of everything else - was plagued by the same questions he was. Or perhaps his mind just went in that direction because...well it already was in that direction.
