Rosemary cracked a smile and glanced up at Romeo, "Where did you put the holiday presents I got for Grandma and Grandpa?"
"I'll go get them."
Romeo shot Cathy a warning look before he left.
"Wow, Rose, you actually got him to move." Cathy was starstruck by Rosemary's influence. "Wait, you didn't even ask him, and off he went. Am I blind or has he changed. Is that really my big brother?"
No, her big brother was still the same—stern and aloof with them.
But with his wife, Rosemary, he was all tenderness.
"Rose, you gotta cover for me in the future! Any tasty treats I get, they're all yours. Any cool spots I find,you're the first one I'll take! Any perks come my way, you're the one I'll think of first—just protect me. If I can avoid Romeo's claws—no, his 'educational' grip—for the rest of my life."
Rosemary couldn't help but chuckle at Cathy's earnest appeal.
