Rose and ?
After much badgering from both her parents, Rose finally agreed to make an appearance at her cousin's 'house warming' party. There were more people there then she had anticipated. She still didn't feel like being around to many people, so she avoided the pool. Avoiding the other rooms with people would have been her preference as well. However, she knew she couldn't avoid them all forever.
She picked a spot in one of the reception rooms with the least number of guests. Dr. Keller's voice popped into her head, telling her that she needed to be open and social. Yet, she couldn't right then. Even in a room full of family and friends, she felt alone. Before long she was lost in her own thoughts and only when someone touched her arm did they fade away enough to see it was who was trying speak to her.
