Meeting The Lindens

Rose took a deep breath.

Now she had even more questions than before. For example, why Elios Linden and his brother had different last names. And why Rune never told Rose from the beginning that he was actually a member of the Schneider family.

Rune noticed the confusion on Rose's face and he knew she must have a lot of questions. He nudged her arm and tilted his chin toward Aleksis. 

"That's my sister. If you have any questions, you can ask her," he said.

"Right.. oh, right," Rose nodded her head, still looked confused. She smiled toward Aleksis and finally found her voice to greet her. "Hello, my name is Rose Fournier. Nice to meet you all."

"Nice to meet you too, Rose," Aleksis replied with a sweet smile. As for her husband, as usual, his smile was reserved for only very important people, mostly his family. He just looked at Rose with a cold expression.
