Maggie was mad at Rose, but at the same time she loved her. She couldn't understand why she had spent so many years keeping her at bay. Rose was talking to her in her mind.
"If I come to you will you let them go?"
"Yes," Maggie answered. It wasn't the ideal offer. Even she realized that Rose was making this deal more to save her daughter and granddaughter than to be with her. But her parents had always preferred Rose. She would take what she could get because nobody had ever loved her. That's why she had drowned herself that day.
