"Did Romeo's uncle's kids come over early?" Louisa was surprised but mostly delighted. "The house is going to be even livelier now."
"It seems Rose got along really well with them last night," Kenneth said with a chuckle, always knowing their darling girl was a hit wherever she went.
Cathy was sweet as pie. As soon as she walked in, she won over all the elders and gave Rosemary a big hug.
"Rose, I didn't expect you to look so gorgeous in pajamas! No wonder my brother is head over heels for you—I, a gal myself, am totally charmed. So, how do I look today? I hope I'm not embarrassing you. I put on my most treasured and prettiest clothes and jewelry to show you my affection and how much I value this homecoming party!"
Rosemary smiled softly at her, "You look stunning."
"Getting a compliment from you, Rose, makes me happier than admiring myself in the mirror," Cathy beamed.
"Cathy sure has a silver tongue," Louisa hadn't expected the McMillians to take such a liking to Rose.
