"Hmmm," Penny murmured, pressing her lips together slightly, the sound slightly thoughtful as their pace slowed to a near stop by the rosebushes. Her reaction surprised her slightly, though it was clear to her that her words had shocked Genevieve even more. In fact, Gen looked completely stunned and she almost felt bad putting her on the spot like that.
Penny continued where her twin had left off, reaching toward a bloom in its peak and plucking it from its stem, offering it to Genevieve as a peace offering. "Perhaps you're reading the wrong sorts of stories," she teased lightly, smiling gently to show that she wasn't intending to give her a hard time despite her excessive curiosity.
