Chapter 8 Apology

Rosie couldn't help but conclude that people with no proper education really were unable to see the bigger

picture.

Yet on the surface, she wore a remorseful expression, her voice soft and pleading as she looked at Brenna. "Please don't take it to heart. I was just trying to joke with you a little. Maybe you don't know this yet, but I'm actually your parents' niece. Even though I call them Mom and Dad, I'm still just their niece.

would make her seem petty.
