Oh Rose is ridiculously easy. At least she knows she's being ridiculously easy. She snuggles up against him, pressing a kiss to his chest. "This all it takes? Because I could've gotten the Ninth you to stop brooding a lot fast if I'd realized he just needed cuddles," she teases him.

Rose does too. It's the reason she didn't ask. She knows he loves her but she's still just a 21 year old girl in love with a much older man. Her insecurities wouldn't ever allow her to assume he'd pick her.
