"Where were you guys? How did it happen?" Maybe she was just torturing herself, but she would be thinking about these questions anyway. She might as well know the answers.

He sighed, raking a hand through his hair. "Rosie, I--" He took a breath. "Raven, from Brooklyn. She used to hang out here a lot, I guess, from what Risk told me about her. She...well, she's back at the House in Manhattan 'cause her boyfriend left her, and she just had a baby a few months ago, and she was there in the parlor and I was there and...I dunno, it just happened..."

"We'll see..." she said finally, burying her face in his neck. She knew deep down that if he kept trying to win her back, he would succeed. Because she did like him. And she wanted to be liked.

The good part of this super rotten, no good, very bad fuck up is that Moonshine really did want Rose. He smoothed a hand over her hair, holding her. "Tell 'em yer not feelin' good and need to go home. Lemme take ya back to the House. I just wanna be alone with you for a minute, Rosie."

She rolled her eyes, glad to find that there were no more tears. "I can just leave. I wasn't supposed to be working, so I basically just volunteered for the past couple hours..."

Moonshine blinked at her, then smirked. "So ya did lie to me, then. I knew it."

"Yeah..." she just shrugged, not planning on apologizing. She started walking toward the Lodging House.

He grabbed hold of her hand, interlacing their fingers together. He kept her close so he could kiss her hair occasionally. "Do you still hate me..?"

"Yes," she replied. Though she didn't pull away from him as they walked. When they entered the house, she gazed around with wide eyes.

He arched a brow at her reaction. The lobby was empty, which meant that most of the newsies weren't back yet. "You okay?"

"I've always wondered what it looked like in here," she said. "Doesn't really live up to my expectations."

He snorted. "Yeah, well, it definitely ain't much. Come on." He led her upstairs. "How d'ya feel about attics?"
