Grace earing a slinky black dress and heels when they got to Sal’s house, and it dawned on Rose that she’d agreed to watch the baby so that Grace and Sal could go out for drinks with her friends, Joey and Taylor

Vincent’s unexpected news had et about it Relieved that she hadn’t suggested Vincent e in route, Rose exhaled She’d been tempted to have Vincent head to the beach instead where they could have fun on a quilt in a private little cave they’d recently discovered

"I alht" Rose turned to Vincent with a pout "There goes our swi "No, you can still go swi I just put hiet ho back at Vincent but didn’t , but be good look It was no secret anymore that she and Vincent were very much a couple now, but after Grace had walked in on the, she’d sat Rose down for a talk Grace had been so upset that Vince had left immediately, worried that his time in La Jolla would be over now

To Rose’s surprise Sal had been the one who stuck his neck out for Vincent He ree and assured her that even though Vincent had gone through so to be h to give Rose the courage to speak freely once Sal had left the roo little fro intimate now Grace had, as expected, been surprised and worried Rose knew she would be, but she’d also known Grace would want her to share so so personal and iht up birth control Since it was so about anyway, she decided and proet on it as soon as possible

Grace promised to keep this from Sal because when Roseto Grace about it, she thought he ht pass out Vincent was convinced that if Sal found out, he’d be fired on the spot, and after getting pummeled, he’d be banned from La Jolla for life But Rose assured him Grace wouldn’t share this with Sal She did, however, accoet on birth control Rose had gotten her first shot aanother one every three months

After Sal arrived to pick up Grace, Rose checked the baby one last ti the monitor out with her and Vincent into the back yard The view fro They couldn’t be in a

They’d only been in the pool for a few s and arms wrapped around Vincent "I talked to Enzo while you were changing"

Rose pulled her face away to look at Vince, tilting her head She loosened her legs fro in front of him instead Secretly she prayed Lorenzo had ood and stay out of trouble so that Vince could stay: a wish she certainly wouldn’t be sharing with Vincent

"He explained about this last fight Of course it was stupid He wasn’t even the one doing the fighting; it was his two drunk-ass friends" Vince frowned shaking his head "They were arguing in the car over so home froot out and started swinging Enzo got out to separate them" Vince finally eased up and chuckled "He said he was even laughing because it was so stupid, but then his friend’s e deal of it First, because of the, then when she realized how drunk her son was, she got even crazier"

The huuy’s ot down there to pick up Lorenzo, the cops had been called Not by the guy’s hbors since they’d been so loud All for a girl who’d walked out of the party with another guy!

Luckily no one was taken in or even ticketed, but it was enough to alaret out of control On top of it all his brother was supposed to have been hoht the whole thing was funny He did insist Vincent didn’t need to come home after the summer, but from the looks of it, this only confirmed that Lorenzo’s lack of reo ho the extra hours at work he’s been wanting to for so long, and he can’t afford to pass up the overti up another elderly lady to be caregiver to, she’s gone most of the day even on the weekends" Vince traced his wet fingers over Rose’s lips, so when they spoke this close Even after all this time it still made her shiver "Enzo promised to stay out of trouble, so my dad won’t ask o back"

Rose nodded wanting to show she understood though it irked her that his brother couldn’t just be good on his own "Yeah, you do"

Vince leaned in and kissed her softly "Maybe if I can convince hihten his shit out and he stays out of trouble for a while, I can move back down here before next summer"
