Rose glares.

Rose picks up her knitting.
The clink of needles lost in the music of a hundred objects jostling.
“Does this happen often?” I ask.
“It’s because of where we live.”
“Where is this?”
Rose looks up at Chloe from her stitches.
“Here is where,” she tells me.
Rose nods.
“Is that an answer?”
“It is to someone’s question,” Chloe smiles.
“I’m not someone.”
“Indeed.”

Enjoy this maniacal conversation between Rose, Chloe and Adam. What will such talk lead to next? Best, Clare
