The Way of Things, Chapter 39

I must admit I'm slightly worried about Peter's revelation that he loves her...Rose hasn't exactly had the best track record with the word...or love as a general whole. I hope she's not too skittish or freaked out when he spits it out eventually...hopefully by the time that happens, she'll have realized she feels the same way?
Great chapter!
