"You say that but when you tiptoe around me like you are now, it is easy to suspect something is happening with us. Your mother will figure it out first. I do want to tell her but not now so please," Rose touched Zayne's arm.

It is hard to understand our bodies," Rose said, but she still hoped this wasn't the case this time.
