This room should stop being called Eli’s room as it's become our meeting place. We may as well call it the common area now. 

“Are you okay, baby?” I ask Rose, who is sitting with us in the room. 

“Yeah,” she responds and averts her eyes. Kelly whispers something to her, and they giggle. 

“Care to share the joke?” Tristan prods.

“You wouldn’t get the joke. It’s a woman thing,” Kelly says snidely. 

I can see something is bothering Rose, but I am not sure this is the right time to be pushing her to divulge her fears. I hope to get a chance to talk to her alone...
