. rose sieved the stones that had worked their way to the surface and evened out the permieter of the hole she had dug . her body was toned , and her waist defined . " this is crazy ," i said at last .
she continued to dig ."no , it's not ."
"i really don't want it ."
rose pulled herself upright and leaned on the fork handle " you should want it ."
i closed my eyes " wre you seeing a lot of nathan ?"
"excuse me ?"
the roots of the rose were dry and unpromising . rose eased it into the hole , teased the roots apart , and dribbl;ed soil onto them ." it really should have soaked for a while , but no matter ." she tamped down the soil with her foot ." perhaps you should know , minty but it's not possible to dismisss a marriage just like that . and believe me , i want to ." she looked up . " hold this steady , will you ?"
i obbliged , under my fingers the rose was thorny and unyielding ." how stupid did you want me to feet , rose ? because i felt very stupid when i reallized how often nathan was in touch with you ."
"well , now you know what i felt ." rose did not sound that interested . she slapped her gloved hands together which made a dull , hollow sound . she began to say something , checked herself , then stepped back to survey her handiwork ." i wonder what he was thinking of when he ordered this one ? it's a repeat flowerer ."
i swung round on my heel and walked back into the house behind me . i heard the rattle of the shed door and rose's footsteps on the patio , the her " good bye , twins , i hope to see you again
