"They care about you," Gretchen's quick to say. "If they take your situation a little harder, it's because they're so committed to the work of the Institute, way more immersed than either of us got to be. And Rose... Rose works so hard at reining herself in." Gretchen felt it was important, despite the other things to deal with at the moment, to make this clear. Rose was like a cousin to her, considering how much Dad and Uncle Logan loved each other. "It's not that she couldn't understand something like.....what happened earlier." Gretchen ignored the sick feeling within her at what had happened, locked it away like she did unpleasant political realities. "It's that she could understand it so well people'd be concerned for her soul."
That matter, important as it is, done with, she mentally puts it aside, she pulls him into a kiss. "I like you, too, Brad. So much."
