The next morning Rosalyn shuffled into the kitchen, finding a pot of hot coffee already brewing. Smiling as she figured Zoe put it out for her, she opened the cabinet to grab a mug only to nearly drop as she heard,

"Good morning cousin dear!"

"Mrph"

"What was that Rose?"

"Too early. Talk later."

"You said morning, you did not specify a time."

Groaning, Rosalyn fell into a chair letting her head fall to the table.

"Fine, but can I please have some coffee first?"

"Oh alright, you big I want every single detail."

After Vesper had finished her torment (for the moment at least), Rosalyn finished breakfast, before heading back upstairs to dress for the day. While picking out an outfit, she heard a light knock at her door.

"Yes?"

"Miss Rose?"

Hearing the small voice, Rosalyn called "Come in Zoe!"

"Miss, this just arrives for you."

"Thank you Zoe."

Smiling at the little elf, she waited till Zoe was gone till she opened the note.

My dear Rose,

I was wondering if you would happen to like to join me for a late lunch today. I hope this is not to fast for you, but I enjoyed your company so thoroughly last night that I can hardly wait to see you again. Please let me know as soon as you get this.

Till then I remain yours,

Severus

After reading the little card, her smile wide, Rose resonded with an eager yes, and sent her owl off to carry her response to the man that quickly stealing her heart, after just one night.
