Rosemary: Well, I didn’t lie to you, but I didn’t say the whole extent of Lilac and my story.

Cumulus: Well?

Rosemary: A couple of years ago, when Lilac and I were friends and were living in Berry Springs with our families, we had, well, feelings for each other. So we started dating. 

Cumulus: I knew you guys liked each other! Why did you stop dating?

Rosemary: Well, I didn’t lie about our parents not liking us for dating someone that wasn’t of our own color, so after they took our puppy away, Lilac and I ran to Waffle Creek so we weren’t persecuted for our relationship. But after the whole ordeal, we decided we should stay friends for a while so we could settle.
