Title: Mother's Day.
When Rose was a little girl, before she went to the academy, She would give Janine a Card and a paper rose, for Mother's Day. Each year the Rose would be a different color.
But then she was dumped at the academy.
So every Mother's Day after, Rose would make 3 cards. One for Alberta who was like a motherly figure to her, one for Rhea Lissa's mom who welcomed her with open arms, and one for HER mom. But Rose only made one paper Rose, just for Janine.
She would give Rhea and Alberta their cards and then run to her dorm room.
While everyone else spent the day with their moms, Rose would tape the paper rose to Janine's card. and put it in a box. Then she cried.
When Rose was twenty, on Mother's Day she spent the day with her mom, for the first time in 18 years.
But she put her paper Rose and card in the box, which was buried in her closet.
At the end of the day, she walked to Janine's apartment in guest housing and left the box at her front door.
When Janine found the box she read all 18 Mother's Day cards. Then she pulled out a box of her own.
The box was sliver with the word 'ROSE' engraved on the lid.
In the box were 2 paper roses. They were the first two roses, Rose had made. She put the other 18 roses in the box, then smiled to herself. A single tear ran down her face.
The next day Janine brought the box with when she went to visit Rose.
She showed Rose the box, full with twenty different colored paper roses. Rose hugged her mom as a tear fell on her cheek. "I love you mom." Rose told her, still in the embrace. "I love you too, baby girl."
