104 Cecelia AhernRosie: Well I suppose I—Ruby: That is not the way to broach the subject. And what about marriage?Did he say anything about that? Or about Katie? If you andhe get married, will he want to adopt Katie? Did you discuss any ofthose things?Rosie: Well actually . . . no we didn’t even discuss marriage. Moving intogether is the same commitment as a marriage, Ruby. Anyway Ithought you were anti-marriage.Ruby: I am but I’m not the one who does want to get married and who isin a relationship with a man who doesn’t. There lies a problem.Rosie: I never said that I wanted to marry him.Ruby: Well then if neither of you feel comfortable marrying each other thengo ahead and move in together; that sounds like a fabulous idea!Rosie: That’s exactly what you and Teddy are doing!Ruby: I’ve been married before and so has Teddy, we both don’t want togo through it again. I’ve been there, done that, while this is just thebeginning for you.Rosie: Anyway it doesn’t matter because I told him that I wasn’t ready tomove in with him right now. It’s a bad time, with me trying to settledown in the job and everything and Katie settling down in the flat. Ineed to allow a little more time to pass so that Katie can adjust tothe whole situation. It’s been a huge change in her life—Ruby: So you keep saying.Rosie: What’s that supposed to mean?Ruby: You’ve been in the flat for two years now, you’ve been in that job ofyours for a few weeks now, I’ve seen Katie and she’s fine Rosie,she’s very happy. She’s adjusted to this “huge change,” I think thatmaybe it’s you who needs to adjust.Rosie: Adjust to what?Ruby: Alex is married now Rosie. Move on and make yourself happy!Rosie has logged off
