Wait a minute, how long had she been asleep for? Rose squinted at the clock in the kitchen and realized it was MUCH later than she had thought. "Bugger all, can I use the excuse that I've been sick? I swear, I don't usually sleep this late!" Okay, so that was a half truth. On her days off, Rose did enjoy sleeping in, but it usually wasn't this late!
Rose gave him a lazy smile as he put the back of his hand to check her temperature. "Nah, definitely on the mend. Just wanted to catch a couple more z's..." She glanced at the door and back at John, her eyes growing wide. "Bugger!" She didn't really need much pushing to head back in the direction of her room, closing the door after her. Of all the times to oversleep, today was definitely not the day to do so in!
She bustled about the room, brushing her teeth and trying to find an outfit that would be nice, but not too nice, for meeting John's cousin.
She emerged from her room a half hour later, a smile on her face and indication that she had just woken up. "Troy! It's so nice to meet you!"
