ever seen a 24-year-old senior | citizen?" Alyssa scowled, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "Women | never age." "That's because I respect you too much, Madam!" Rose leaned against Alyssa, her hand around her waist inan affectionate manner. "You should have told me before you came over. I haven't even cleaned up properly yet!" 1 didn't plan to, originally. But one of my meetings was canceled allof a sudden, so I had time to come visit." "Ah ... so this was just a convenient trip for you then. Don't I mean anything to you?" "I'm sorry?

Well, since you've asked so nicely, you can stay." @
