Alessandra waited for Rose to sit down first and then took a seat on the opposite side of the table. "I am truly grateful for you wanting me to be better but not when it comes to furniture. I don't want to be continuously changing furniture because it is what everyone else does. I don't intend to live my life following trends. Edgar and I do have guests outside of you, Dominic, and the few friends I have so there is no one to impress."
"I told you that I mind it," Rose repeated.
"I love you dearly but I am not going to change furniture for one person. I was going to do it whenever you come around but I rather not hide that it is not something I enjoy. Edgar and I don't mind the house the way it is. I was already adding paintings and we are looking to get portraits so it is not like the house is not changing. I am sure Edgar didn't change the furniture every season before I came," Alessandra said.
