"Rosie I..."
"No, stop."
"I wanted to tell you, me and your mother, but she never came back and, then granny went missing..."
"How could you?!"
Rose faced him.
"Did she knew? Did lady Agatha knew? did..."
She faced Red.
"Did you knew, Jay.?"
Red met her eyes, brown honey facing dark burning wood.
"I do."
"How could you? I've never been a Scharlach, all this time and all the chances and you all ran with it? What kind of deranged are you?"
The rose scented girl hissed.
"This was not meant to go like this."
"Clearly, because while I risked my neck for Red and the princess you stand here eating cookies with the vamps who now want me dead. So who is it gonna' be? Your biological son? Your adoptive step-wolf? Who else is going to tell me we are a broken mess?"

Ulv took Red's hands as he cried while Forest stared blankly at the ground.
