If Rose ever thought she was paranoid, a glance at Carlisle's thought would prove otherwise. Not that she hasn't had similar rampant thoughts when in a vulnerable moment. During the ring, there were several times no doubt that she'd had similar frantic trains of thought. Running all the possibilities and opportunities in her head on how to come out on top, how to ensure that she was the victor because it meant her life. Has Carlisle been through something similar?

"Your garden's cool," she says, using more of that slang. Hopefully, that one is universal enough that he's heard it before and understands. "That was really it. Since the orchard is kind of a mess, I just... miss it, I guess. Nature. The world I was before this didn't have any either."

Rose has made friends with the woman who attempted to and then actually did murder her. Compared to that, Carlisle is a lot more tame.
