Rose

After I received the letter from The Professor, the first person I contacted was Rose.  Rose was my angel and best friend.  She was a confidant and a comfort, always knowing the perfect thing to say to put me at ease.

In my letter I told Rose about The Professor's doctor and my need to get to the States to meet with this man.  I also told Rose of my suspicions about The Professor's deepening feelings for me. Now the only thing left to do was wait for her reply, and since this was Rose, I knew I would not have to wait long.
