In the end there is Love Part 8:
A short one today the internet is being goofy...

"..........." Connor quietly grumbling to himself...
"Connor...what's wrong?"

"Connor talk to me...."
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1927/31248975638_39cf3463db_c.jpg
".............." *silence*

"Connor either you talk to me or I'm going to call Jamie Jolina and tell her you're secretly in love with her!!"
*Heavy sigh* "Fine..."

"I saw you kissing Julia...."
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1907/45073779082_32883cae3d_c.jpg
Jared was taken by surprise "When...?"
"When you were down at the beach, you knew I liked her and you still had to swoop in..."
"Connor, you've known her for 10 years and never made a move..."
"You.Knew.I.Liked.Her...." he ground out...then pushed the chair back violently and left the room.

*******************************
Rowan had really taken to painting, it was one of the very few things that made him a bit happy, he had completed about 15 paintings. Remarkably Rosie was becoming a bit nicer, she brought Rowan new canvas to paint on and some new paints (Julia had told Rosie she should take up a hobby so Rosie picked painting specifically so she could get supplies for Rowan). she also started leaving him more food, a jar of cookie and a basket of apples showed up in his room while he was sleeping.

Rowan had no idea why she was being marginally nicer but decided to not question it. She visited on Friday evening, she was actually trying to chat with the mute boy, he still was not talking to her.

She tried to get him to talk...
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1932/44271590955_4536f49d5a_c.jpg
"Rowan you better start talking to me or I'm not going to bring you anymore food or canvas!!" she threatened..
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1924/44271589145_d19dffbfcc_c.jpg
"Okay Rosie...I'll talk."
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1976/44271588185_8e94eb407e_c.jpg
Just then Rosie heard her mom calling her...she sounded like she was right outside the door, the door that Rosie forgot to lock..
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1978/44271585365_17cf4c50bf_c.jpg
"Oh crud Rowan...that's my mom! Quick change into your doll form and get in the bathroom and don't make a peep!!"
"Okay Rosie.." he whispered, then went quickly to the bathroom.

Rosie didn't trust him to not change into his human form while his mom was around, how would she explain a child locked living in the attic...

Just as the bathroom door clicked shut Julia came into the attic...
"Why are you up here young lady?"
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1975/43368435970_c2466622dc_c.jpg
"It's my secret art studio mom...do you like it?"
"It's okay but what's with all the creepy paintings?"
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1973/44271582575_922e78bf2b_c.jpg
"I like them...they're interesting"
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1942/44271581685_2bdf65466c_c.jpg
"Mom, why were you kissing Jasper's uncle the other night down at the beach?" Rosie asked trying to change the subject..
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1947/43368434370_e73b235173_c.jpg
"Because I like him...wait, you saw that?" was all she could think to say....when had her daughter gotten so chatty anyways..
"Yes, Jasper and I both saw you..."
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1911/44271582005_7072e2d7db_c.jpg
Julia was getting uncomfortable, if Rosie and Jasper had seen them who else could have seen them, or Jasper could have told his father, or goodness knows what else..she has to call Jared.

'I gotta remember to lock the door' Rosie thought to herself...
"Rowan you can come out now, it's safe"
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1929/43368429190_5e5ef2403d_c.jpg

With that Rosie left the attic and made sure the door was locked behind her..
