that one cold night

how Riley learns the secret

Riley drove up the driveway to Rosie's parents house. He was excited to share the news with them. Rosie was sitting next to him in the car looking nervous. "What's wrong Rosie?"

"Hu? O! sorry. Listen Riley i need to tell you something before we get to my parents house." Rosie stammered.

"Ok what's up?" Riley asked

"Well this is kind of hard to say. but um... I'm a um... well its like um..." Rosie stiffened thinking of how to tell Riley she was a witch.

"Spit it out" Riley said getting impatient.

"Don't freak out. ok?" Riley gave a curt nod so she went on, " I'm a... witch." she said barely above a whisper.

"Right and I'm a nymph! Good one babe." Riley was sitting there laughing.

"I known you would laugh!" Rosie wailed, "I'll prove it." to Riley's surprise she held out her hand. a bubble of water appeared, growing larger.

"I can control one of the elements, my sisters controls the others." Rosie stiffened closing her eyes.

"Baby open up look at me." Riley whispered, one lighting blue eye cracked open. "That's my girl, Rosie, I don't care that your a witch," Riley said still whispering, "You are still you, I promise. You are the woman I love and care about." Riley reached out and brushed aside a tear that had fallen. "Don't cry love. i know you wont hurt me."

"never in a million years would i hurt you Riley."
