"Lissa! That's beautiful!" She pointed at my necklace.
I chuckled, "Thanks. It's from Christian." I fingered the heart and the flame, looking down.
She nodded and looked at me, "That's really sweet." Her voice was wistful and she went back to what she was doing.
I almost forgot the conversation until later that day, I turned a corner in Court, to find Rose and Christian speaking.
"Hey, Pyro!" She looked at him, pushing her hair behind her ear.
He looked at her, "What do you want, Rosemarie?" He impatiently tapped his foot.
She blushed slightly and I curiously came closer, hiding from their view better. Rose voice had dropped and I almost strained to hear what she said, "I wanted to tell you that I'm really happy that you're with Lissa. You make her happy and you treat her like a princess- not because she's the Queen but because you truly love her."
Christian was stunned speechless. After a moment of him trying to find the right words, he spoke, "Never thought you'd say something nice, Rose."
She scoffed, "Don't get used to it." She turned and left quickly, ready to meet Dimitri for their night together.
I couldn't help but smile- Rose really did care for Christian.
