Rose no longer had the slightest interest in what they thought.
Nor did she bother to see what expression Ryan had on his face. She turned and walked away without a trace of emotion.
She had done what she wanted to do.
She no longer believed in that old line about children being immature.
She no longer believed it.
Ariel and Mike were the same age, yet Ariel was sensible and well-behaved. As for Mike—could he really not know what he was doing?
What exactly did it mean that he "didn't know any better"?
Or was he acting on someone’s orders, lording it over others?
Right and wrong—it made no difference to her anymore.
The root cause was simply that Ryan had granted that brother and sister special privileges.
Rose’s retreating figure was truly resolute.
Ryan
