Zayne managed to separate Rose from his mother to speak in private. "You don't have to go if you are not ready. Weren't you the one who spoke about us resting?"
"I did but she is being so kind as to host a celebration for us and I am starting to feel bad that she wasn't present to see us wed. It was only my family and your soldiers so we should give her this. She says it will be small," Rose replied.
"Rose, small in my mother's world is a ball. It will not be as small as you think, so you can reconsider it for when you are ready. For now, I prefer it to be just the two of us. That is how we should enjoy our time now as it is not known when I will be busy," said Zayne.
Rose wanted to enjoy her time with Zayne before he had to leave but she also wanted to make Catherine happy since she had not been present.
