I hadn't planned on staying away for too long, but now that Carmine is gone..." She shrugged a bit. "And we'll have to see how Rose does." Ugh, there was another thing she needed to think about. How was she going to work and take care of Rose if she turned out to be very sick? She hadn't intended to stay with her mother very long, but the more she thought about it, the more she thought she might have to.
Nana laughed again. "I hope not. It does make her look very... Otherworldly, though, doesn't it? She's beautiful."
