Chapter 38

• Rose
• It baffles me how Mom was all normal about our discussion yesterday. She didn't say anything or try to explain herself. Yet, I couldn't get the image of what transpired out of my head. How easy it was for her to forget Dad. I know it's her life, and I hold nothing against what makes her happy, but sometimes you need to look at your life from another angle. What will people say if they come to know that she's going out with her boss? The harsh reality will slap her across the face. Some will say she seduced him.
• On the other hand, Roman isn't behaving like before. He was all quiet when I tried to talk; he'd dodge or pretend he's on the phone. Today, I decided to talk to him about it. Seeing him behave like that is making me feel guilty. I know I've not given him my answer yet, but my silence is as good as an answer.
